Road closures on Sunday

The council’s sealed order closes four stretches of road to vehicles on 8 November. Its notice page gives these times:

The notice page labels the Binfield road “Terrace Road South”, but the order itself names Terrace Road North, which is the parade route. The council says blue light access will not be maintained during the closures.

Our Bracknell roadworks and travel page has everything else shut this week, and parking in Bracknell covers the town centre car parks and the resident permit zones, whose Sunday hours catch people out on mornings like this.
