A CAR park in Alvechurch will be temporarily closed next month for the village's annual Mop Fair.

The car park, located in Tanyard Lane, will be closed on Wednesday, October 4 for the whole day.

Residents and other users of the car park are advised to remove their vehicles the night before to avoid access issues in the morning.

Matthew Mead, senior engineering technician for Bromsgrove District Council, said: "We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the closure of the car park but this is essential for the mop fair to take place and ensure the safety and security of visitors enjoying the fair.”

For more information about the closure, call the council on 01527 64252 or email matthew.mead@bromsgroveandredditch.gov.uk.
