Council makes light work of car park improvements

Published by webmaster for Herefordshire Council in Communities

Motorists visiting Hereford city centre will benefit from new lighting which is about to be installed in the car park beneath the Maylord Shopping Centre.

The work, being carried out by local contractors Melcon, will take around three months to complete.

“This is good news for shoppers, particularly as the work will be completed in time for Christmas shopping,” said Cllr Wilcox, cabinet member for highways and transportation.

“This will be the first total refurbishment of the car park lighting system since it was opened 20 years ago, in October 1987.

“To make sure that the lighting improvements create the minimum disruption to car park users, I’ve arranged for the work to take place between 6pm and 6am,” added Cllr Wilcox

Work is due to begin this weekend, Monday, August 13.
