Repair work is to start on Culver Street car park after £600,000 investment. 

The money is being invested by Wiltshire Council, who has secured contractor Logic Contract Services to carry out the work.

The repair work is due to start on June 18 and is expected to last for 16 weeks.

Cllr Ian Blair-Pilling, Wiltshire Council cabinet member for operational assets, said: “These repair works have been planned for quite some time and I’m pleased that they are now progressing.

“These types of facilities are used day in and day out by residents and it is important that we ensure they are as safe and fit-for-purpose for those who use them.

“There will be some disruption to users of the car park while these works are carried out but we’ll do our very best to keep these to a minimum.”

The council says there will be "some initial enabling works" taking place this week, which require scaffolding, in preparation for the main works.

The work will see repairs to the structure of the facility, including to the columns, floors and brickwork, as well as a full replacement of the flooring and ramps on all levels of the car park, which the councils says should help reduce the noise for nearby residents.

Barriers throughout the facility will also be either strengthened or replaced, to make the car park more secure.

The car park will remain open for the duration of the works, but there may be some limited access to some of the floors during the build programme.

There will also be some periodic closure of footpaths around the site but this will kept to a minimum and alternative routes will be clearly signposted.
