Whoberley Avenue Access Restrictions

Road resurfacing in Whoberley Avenue will take place over approximately 7 days from Monday 17th July.

The road will be fully closed between 7.30am and 5pm, during which time access will be permitted for residents, business, emergency vehicles and refuse collection but not for private motorists.

Vehicles left parked on the road during the work may legally be removed and will also incur a £70 penalty charge.

Number 10 bus diverted

Whoberley Avenue will be closed from Monday 17 July for up to seven days, while repairs are carried out.

During the closure, bus service 10 will be unable to use the stops on either Whoberley Avenue or Maudslay Road and so passengers are asked to use the stops on Lyndale Road or the service 23 stops on Allesley Old Road.

Tonight at the Nursery

Tonight’s free music at the Nursery Tavern features sets from Trailer Trash, Red Smile and Amit Dattani.

 

As usual, this monthly The Tin at the Nursery event starts at 8.45pm, with doors opening fifteen minutes earlier.

 

The weather looks to be suitable for an outside gig, so make sure that you take a jumper.
