A CAR park in Redditch is set to temporarily close for five days later this month for improvement work and resurfacing.

Matchborough Centre South Car Park, accessed via Matchborough Way, will be completely closed from 22 July.

The old surfacing will be planed off before new surfacing is put down and the lines painted back on.

Redditch Borough Council has asked for residents to remove their cars from this area and the car park before the works begin on the 22nd.

The council has said the work, which will be completed by contractors Kelbec, will be noisy and dusty and cars left in close proximity to the works are left at the owners’ risk, as the planing of the old tarmac could cause damage.

Portfolio holder for environmental services, councillor Sid Khan, said: “We apologise for any inconvenience caused and we hope to keep disruption to a minimum. The nature of this work means that closing the area is in the best interest of local residents to avoid any health and safety issues, as well as enabling our contractors to complete the work as quickly as possible.”

This work forms part of a bigger ongoing improvement project around the borough.
