Today we remember and reflect upon the Coventry Blitz, a day our city will never forget.
We remember those who lost their lives, the families who lost loved ones and the communities whose lives were changed forever by the bombing of our city.

Getting the everyday things right matters.
That’s why we’ve been investing in cleaner streets, safer neighbourhoods and better roads.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll show you what that investment means for our city and how we’re working for you.
It's that time of the year again!
Our gritters were out last night treating the major roads across the city.
If you're travelling today please take care.

At the moment, we believe this will be a one-off £100 payment and won’t be taken off your Council Tax bill or paid as a Council Tax refund. Please continue to pay your Council Tax as normal.

Last year in the Your Voice Counts Survey, you told us that fly-tipping and keeping the streets clean was incredibly important to you, and it’s a priority for us too.
