A CAR park will have to close for one day only.

The Village Car Park in Sandiway, off Weaverham Road, will be shut all day on Wednesday (August 7) to allow for some gardening work.

Julie Chrimes, clerk of Cuddington Parish Council, has asked people to respect the workmen, following ‘derogatory comments’ made when the car park had to close last year.

She said: “Please be aware that just for one day only, on Wednesday August 7, this village car park will be closed all day, due to heavy machinery cutting the hedges and bushes inside and out of the whole site.

“The car park will be taped off at both ends, please adhere to the notices.

“Last year, the workmen encountered derogatory comments, all because they were carrying out their job, the council do not want to witness this again.

“Many thanks for your cooperation.”
