Road closures - what you need to know

  • Kingsholm Road, Worcester Street and Worcester Parade will all have sections that will be closed off and/or have parking restrictions.

If a closure is needed then:

  • Kingsholm Road and Worcester Street will be closed from Black Dog Way to Tewkesbury Road roundabout.
  • There will also be no parking or waiting on this road either.
  • The whole of Worcester Parade will also be closed and no parking or waiting will be allowed either in order to allow two-way traffic through.

The closure depends on the number of people heading to the concert - on Friday it was only closed after the concert.
