Civic reception still on

26 April 2002

Tonight's reception for the promotion-winning West Bromwich Albion team will go ahead despite the closure of one of the roads near the council building because of a murder investigation.

The open top bus is due to leave the Hawthorns at 6:30pm tonight, making its way along the Birmingham Road and across the M5 island towards the centre of West Bromwich before turning left down Spon Lane to head for Oldbury. The route is roughly four miles - which means that it could be quite a crush tonight, even if people are spread evenly along the route. Our advice is to get there early and find your spot in plenty of time!
