We will be carrying out works to the staircase and lift lobby in High Chelmer car park from Monday 2 June 2025 for around 10 weeks. This will cause some disruption, but we will carry out the works one stairwell at a time, and ensure the lifts are still accessible. Season ticket holders can use the car park as normal, and staff will be on-site to help customers throughout the works. We apologise for any inconvenience.
