Temporary Closure of Sections of Car Park 10 - Monday 22nd March - Tuesday 23rd March
On Monday 22/03/2021 and Tuesday 23/03/2021, sections of the car park to the rear of Physics and MASB will be closed to safely allow the replacement of the large liquid nitrogen vessels at physics. Articulated lorries and cranes are required to remove and install the vessels and for the protection of people and vehicles, the car park must close for 2 days. Regrettably, this also means includes some of the accessible bays within the car park. For the duration of the temporary closure, blue badge holders unable to make use of other accessible bays in the area may straddle 2 standard bays within the open section of the car park, but must still display their valid blue badge. Pedestrian diversions will also be in place to divert via the footpath along Gibbet Hill Road.
