A MATCHBOROUGH parking area will be temporarily closed for a day next week while essential improvement work is carried out.

The parking area, which was developed as part of Capital Locality improvement works in Eardisley and Dilwyn Close, will be closed on Wednesday, January 25 from 8am until 1pm so that the new parking bays can be lined.

A council spokesman said: “We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the closure of the bays and we aim to keep this to a minimum. The completion of the lining will ensure that residents can get the best out of the new bays.”

For more information on the works contact Mark White on 01527 64252 or email mark.white@bromsgroveandredditch.gov.uk.
