Estates: Latest news
Temporary closure of accessible parking bays at the rear of the Library
The accessible parking bays at the rear of the Library will be temporarily unavailable on Wednesday 26 August to allow essential lining works to take place.
We recognise that these bays are important for many of our community. Unfortunately the bays will need to be kept clear to allow the yellow hatch markings to be reinstated safely. The works themselves are expected to take around one hour, and we will look to reopen the bays as soon as it is safe and possible to do so.
Blue Badge holders are encouraged to use alternative accessible parking bays nearby where possible.
We understand this may cause inconvenience and appreciate your patience while these essential works are carried out.
If you require any additional support or would like to discuss alternative arrangements, please contact the Transport & Mobility team.
