Road Closures To Help With ‘Safe Shopping’

There will be some road closures and changes to traffic arrangements in Market Harborough town centre when more shops re-open on Monday.

To help with safe queuing and passing for pedestrians, Church Street will be closed to traffic, as well as with part of Adam and Eve Street, from the St Mary’s Road junction – diversions will be signposted.

A two-way traffic system will operate along Church Square, from Roman Way to Factory Lane.

It is not known at present how long the measures will be needed for and Harborough Council says it will keep them under review.
