NIGHT work to remove the existing central reservation on Newmarket Street is to begin this evening.

The works are to take place between 8pm and 6am, ahead of the larger refurbishment and improvement of the area in the new year.

It should be complete within approximately one week with disruption to motorists expected to be minimal.

A later start of 10pm has been arranged for tomorrow (Wednesday December 11) to ensure no impact is felt for shoppers and businesses during the late night shopping evening.
