We’re carrying out routine repairs and maintenance work on Poplar Road car park (also known as the Marks and Spencer car park).
We’ll be delivering this work in three phases, with the first phase requiring a three-week full closure from Monday 29 September until Friday 17 October 2025.
Customers with parking permits for Poplar Road car park should use the Mell Square or Lode Lane multi-storey car parks as an alternative, where the permits will be valid over this period.
Following this initial full closure, the car park will reopen, with access restricted to certain floors until Friday 14 November 2025.
Closure plan
| Phase | Closure | Date |
| Phase 1 | Full car park closure | 29 September to 17 October 2025 |
| Phase 2 | Car park open, however no access to 3rd floor or rooftop parking | 17 October to 14 November 2025 |
| Phase 3 | Car park fully open.
This phase will require some temporary traffic management on the entrance / exit ramp from Poplar Road. Temporary changes to the layout of the entrance and exit lanes may also be required, however these changes will be clearly signed and should not impact on the operation of the car park.
| 14 November to 27 November 2025 |
These dates may be subject to change.
