Two Bromsgrove Town Centre car parks will be closed for a week each in March for essential maintenance.

Parkside Car Park will be closed week commencing 7^th March, followed by New Road week commencing 14^th March. Both car parks will be closed day and night while the resurfacing work takes place.

The old surfacing will be planed off before new surfacing is put down. For this reason, residents will need to remove their cars from the car parks prior to the work beginning to avoid potential access issues or delays to the work.

Car park users should also be aware that some spaces will also be barriered off at Parkside for wall repairs, week commencing 28^th Feb and at New Road for the installation of new railings, from 7^th March.

Leader of Bromsgrove District Council, Cllr Karen May, said: “We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the closures. A weeklong closure for both car parks is not ideal but due to the residential properties nearby, night working is not an option and of course brings its own safety issues.

“Our team have worked hard to ensure that disruption is kept to a minimum and have put plans in place, such as staggered start dates, to avoid too many issues with parking at this end of the town.

“The full closure will allow our contractors to complete the work as quickly as possible and the work will mean safer, better car parks for visitors and residents in the town.”
