Nottingham City Council have announced the roads which will be closed while the Sikh Vaisakhi Procession takes its route around the city. The procession is taking place between 10am and 3:30pm on Sunday 22 May.
The route will start on Church Street in Lenton and end on Percy Street in Old Basford. All side roads will also be closed for a short duration as the procession passes through the main route.
