🅿️ Parking for parkrunners
Because tanker routes and closures affect the roads closest to Bartley Park, please use our official Totton Town Centre car parks instead.
#BartleyPark #BartleyParkparkrun #Totton #SouthernWater #LoveParkrun
Tankers are currently operating on:
• Ashurst Bridge Road
• Monkton Lane (road down from the A326 to the river)
• The A326
Traffic management has returned. Monkton Lane is closed, and Ashurst Bridge Road will be slow or restricted.
#BartleyPark #BartleyParkparkrun #Totton #SouthernWater #LoveParkrun
🚧 Southern Water works – tankers are back, and this affects parkrun parking.
Sewer maintenance began on Tuesday 7 April and is expected to last around three weeks. Tankers are back on site to manage wastewater flows.
