Further Improvements Scheduled for Arrow Valley Parking

Two Arrow Valley carparks are to temporarily close in order to undergo resurfacing.

As part of the ongoing program of improvements that have been taking place since April, residents are being given advanced notice that two of the carparks at Arrow Valley are to close for three days to be resurfaced.

As part of the Council’s larger car park improvement scheme, the car park on Battens Drive, opposite Lidl, will be closed for three days in the week beginning 8 July to be resurfaced and repainted. This is the final stage of upgrades for the Battens Drive car parks that saw the entrance to the Country Park reconfigured to allow for a better flow of traffic.

Redditch Borough Council’s Interim Head of Environment and Property Services, Simon Parry, said: “We apologise for any inconvenience that these works cause for the week, though we are pleased that this project has already had a positive impact. The reconfigured access has already proved beneficial to the park, and we hope this next stage will only continue the success we’ve seen so far with the new and improved parking provision.”

Additionally, the car park on Proctors Barn Lane, up the ramp through the height barrier, will be closed in the week beginning 8 July to be resurfaced as part of the scheme.

Simon added: “Arrow Valley is an incredibly popular location in the town, and we know how important car parks are to allowing residents a stress free visit, this ongoing work to improve our car parks is important to maintain our town as a destination.”

Arrow Valley Countryside Park has a variety of different car parking options, and Alternative parking options for Arrow Valley are available to view here.
