New route for carnival

Notting Hill Carnival organisers announced a new route at their launch party on Tuesday. The parade will now move clockwise in a horseshoe instead of the usual anti-clockwise circle, a change that it is hoped will help to ease congestion and the usual crush. Organisers also confirmed they are naming Sunday ‘Children’s Day’ and the Monday ‘Adult’s Day’. The Trust who run the carnival admitted they are still looking for sponsorship and appealed for companies to come forward.
