Church Walk car park is set to partially close for over a month

Church Walk car park will be open for disabled parking only from 2 January until late February 2024.

As part of the work to the Church Walk access road, there will be some temporary changes to the Church Walk car park and vehicle access. Church Walk car park will be open for disabled parking only from 2 January until late February 2024. The nearest alternative car parks are on St Mary’s Road, Castle car park (to the rear of Jaspers store off Hill Street) and Stockwell Head. 

Cllr Stuart Bray, Leader of Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council, said: "This is a key area of the town centre for shoppers and visitors to the town and this scheme, along with the renovation of shop fronts and restoration of jitties in the town centre, will help to make the area more attractive to residents, businesses, tourists and investors. I would like thank residents, businesses, and visitors in advance for their patience and apologise for any short-term inconvenience as we undertake these important improvements to the town centre’s public spaces. We intend to fully re open this popular town centre carpark when the works are completed retaining all current spaces."

Church Walk will be closed to vehicles (except for access to the church) and there will be no access to the vehicle turning circle at the top of Church Walk.

Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council say that officers are contacting businesses affected to make alternative arrangements for servicing and access to their premises during the works. 

Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the works, however there may be some minor diversions for pedestrians moving between Argents Mead and Castle Street while works are ongoing over the Church Walk access road and car park.
