Bus Interchange and The Oculus Building - External Wireless upgrade
The UOW frame work contractor Sudlows will be upgrading the external Wi-Fi around the Bus interchange and the Oculus building using high level access equipment. To reach the high level access points the access equipment will need to be positioned on the path way and barriered. No facilities will be affected however wireless network service will be affected in a localised area while the unit is being replaced. The works will take place on the 31st January 2023.
CP8a - Junction - Emergency Works affecting accessible parking
Due to emergency repairs to a water pipe in the vicinity of the accessible parking bays outside Junction in CP8a, regrettably, it is essential for some of those spaces to be taken out of action for the duration of the works. This is unavoidable due to the location of the broken pipe. During the works, If you need access to accessible parking and these spaces are still closed, you may park considerately on the double yellow lines opposite the bays but a valid blue badge or disability permit must be displayed at all times.
It is anticipated that the works will take place over the next few weeks. Updates will be posted when available.
