The upper floors of the Ryemarket carpark will temporarily close for essential maintenance work, starting next month.

The car park will be closed from level two and above from 3rd February, where concrete repair work will be carried out on the structure.

The work was identified during the inspection schedule.

Councillor Damian Corfield, cabinet member for environment, said: "Our structural team carries out regular inspection surveys to ensure the car park is 
safe for motorists and shoppers.

“The surveys have identified repairs needed to the concrete floors and ceilings on level two and above and these will be closed for the work to be carried out.

“The lower floors will remain open throughout and alternative parking is available at Birmingham Street and Church Street.

“We apologise for any inconvenience while this essential work takes place.”

The work is expected to take eight weeks. The estimated cost of the works is £104k.
