A yellow “Advance Warning” sign has appeared outside The Market House, alerting the local community to an upcoming disruption on Castle Street. If you usually park in this area or use it as a cut-through during your daily commute, you will need to plan an alternative route for early next week.
Closure Details and Timings
The road is scheduled to be closed on Tuesday, 6th January 2026. The restrictions will be in place during the following hours:
- Start Time: 8:00 am
- End Time: 6:00 pm
While the sign offers apologies for the inconvenience, it does not specify the exact nature of the works. Typically, such closures in this narrow part of town are required for essential utility repairs, building maintenance, or safe access for heavy machinery.
Impact on Local Access
Because Castle Street is a key link between the High Street and residential areas near the castle, the ten-hour closure is likely to increase traffic volume on surrounding roads.
Pedestrian access to local businesses, including The Market House and the various shops along the street, is usually maintained during these closures, though vehicular access and on-street parking will be strictly prohibited while the sign is in effect.
