While Mill Road (between East Road and Coleridge Road), the top of Gwydir Street, the top of St Barnabas Road and the entrance to Ironworks will be closed to most traffic (including all cyclists) between 9.00am and 5.30pm on the day, there will be some vehicle movement. Pedestrians should exercise particular care before the road is fully closed. Re-opening will occur gradually, so drivers and pedestrians should take extreme care.
Pedestrians will be required to make way for emergency and other vehicles within the closure area, from time to time. There is no access to the road closure without permission. Permitted vehicles must drive at walking pace, exercise extreme care for pedestrians, and follow any steward instructions.
Mill Road is a residential street. Please respect residents and do not trespass in private gardens.
