Streets sporting canopies (7)
I believe the answer is:
testers
'canopies' is the definition.
(I know this)
'streets sporting' is the wordplay.
'sporting' indicates anagramming the letters.
'streets' with letters rearranged gives 'TESTERS'.
(Other definitions for testers that I've seen before include "Streets (anag.)" , "They conduct examinations" , "Bed canopies" , "Samples of perfume" , "triers" .)
