PENKETH Parish Council is urging any groups or organisations interested in taking part in a carnival parade to come forward.

The parade last took place several years ago and Penketh Parish Council chairman Clr Linda Dirir is now determined to bring back the popular march.

She said: “We desperately want to get the parade back next year.

“I need schools, nurseries, clubs or any other organisations to register with me if they would be interested in doing a float and then I can write to the borough council and request a road closure.”

To register interest e-mail Clr Dirir on ldirir@warrington.gov.uk or call her on 725584.
