Car park works at Framingham Earl Sports Centre
With the school holidays approaching, Framingham Earl High School have just informed us that they will be carrying out some resurfacing and car park improvement work outside the centre, starting Monday 22 July. This work will certainly improve the car park, however will likely cause some inconvenience in the meantime.
Our team are currently working with the school to confirm the finer details of the work. We do know that the car park will be closed in front of the building, leading to restricted parking for the next six weeks. During this period, we encourage you to walk or cycle to the centre when possible, or consider sharing with friends and family. Temporary parking locations are marked on the map below should you still need to drive to the centre.
Some changes have been made to the pedestrian access route to the centre. We kindly ask that for the duration of the works, you enter the site via the pedestrian gate located to the left of the main gates. This is because the footpath around the main car park is closed.
With this in mind, until 28 July, please follow the green line illustrated in the diagram below when entering and exiting the centre. This is to ensure all pedestrians can access the centre safely via footpaths.
From 29 July, works will be progressing, meaning there will be no access to the front of the building. Therefore, we kindly ask that you follow the route illustrated below, and enter/exit the building through the rear doors of the centre. Please continue to access the centre via this route until further notice.
Thank you for your patience during this time.
Should you have any questions, please email framingham.lc@southnorfolkandbroadland.gov.uk.
