DPD Customer Bulletin – The King’s Coronation – Impact on deliveries in the London area from Thursday 4 May

The King’s Coronation will take place on the morning of Saturday 6 May at Westminster Abbey. However, we have been informed that the road closures in Westminster will start from Thursday 4 May and remain in place until Sunday 7 May.

We are doing everything we can to minimise the impact of this event on your deliveries, including transferring all our Westminster depot deliveries, since the road outside our depot will be closed, to our London City depot. However, these road closures will mean we are unable to gain access to certain roads and be unable to make some deliveries in the SW1 area.

On Sunday 7 May, the celebrations move to Windsor, which will impact the area in the SL4 postcode area and we expect the roads into Windsor to be extremely congested.

In addition, there are numerous street parties planned across the weekend which will see many residential roads closed which will restrict the movement of our delivery vehicles.

Any parcels that cannot be delivered will be reattempted on Tuesday 9 May, following the Bank Holiday.

Together for Cinema – Bringing the joy of home cinema to children’s hospices around the UK

 

Together For Cinema is an AV industry good cause enterprise whose main focus is to design and install home cinema rooms in children’s hospices and other suitable locations across the UK. These rooms not only benefit the children and young adults, but also their families, carers, staff and volunteers. Together For Cinema has comprehensive support and backing from our industry, hence all products and installation services are donated.

Increasingly there are other opportunities presenting themselves that show there is much more than can be done, be it linking up international AV companies with good causes or recycling second hand AV equipment it is clear there is the need for an industry conduit to liaise with good causes in the UK.

Quite simply Together For Cinema is a pure and unquestionable good.

“Together For Cinema – together for better…”

OUR SPONSORS AND PARTNERS

Together For Cinema simply would not be without the support and backing of our Sponsors and Partners. The difference that their support makes to so many people’s lives, be them the poorly children, disabled young adults or a family member or a carer, is immense. I have been asked many times to pass on their thanks to all involved and I do what I can, but this page I hope goes some way to recognise their assistance and commitment to making a real difference and helping to deliver the end result.

TDI are very proud to be a Bronze Level Sponsor and we’d encourage our industry friends to get on board and help support this fantastic venture which makes such a huge difference to so many families.
