Church Lane partial closure supports St Quentin Square construction
A northbound left partial closure is listed from 9 February 2026 to 1 November 2028 for works at the mixed-use development at 22 St Quentin Avenue.
WHY IT MATTERS
This is a prolonged access change tied to a material town-centre construction project, not a short maintenance closure.
WHAT TO DO
Use the official detour plan and allow for changed vehicle and pedestrian movements around the work zone.
