A number of temporary closures of the Maltings car park in Salisbury are taking place this month and in November for essential electrical works.

The work is being done in four stages to limit disruption for shoppers at the 586 space facility.

The first closure today (13th October) and tomorrow (14th October) will see the whole underground car park beneath Sainsbury's closed.

On the 20-21 October, the underground section behind the City Hall will be closed.

Cllr Dr Mark McClelland, Wiltshire Council Cabinet Member for Cabinet Member for Transport, Waste, Street Scene and Flooding, said:

“These closures are required to complete essential electrical works, but we hope to keep disruption to a minimum by still providing parking alternatives."
