The first Sunday closure was in place yesterday (May 31).

On June 7 Coventry Road will be shut between the entrance to the shops up to the traffic lights. Smith Street will be closed between the junction with Cross Street to the traffic lights. The exit from Priory Road to St Johns will also be closed.

On June 21 the service road and parking bays by the shops will be closed. Priory Road will be closed from its junction with Cross Street to St Johns.

On June 28 St Johns Court and St Nicholas Church Street will be closed.

The local authority is installing a shared cycleway/footpath, new crossings, bike racks and service road outside the shops.

WCC wants to "improve connectivity and enhance the experience for pedestrians, cyclists and business users" in the area.

This as well as making the area more attractive with "material enhancements outside the retail/commercial area while preserving as many parking bays as possible".
