Wiltshire Council have advised parents to allow extra time to take their children to school.  

A one-way system is being carried out in phases and excavation works and kerb removal is currently taking place along Fisherton street.

Wiltshire Council’s Cabinet Member for Transport, Councillor Caroline Thomas, said: “A mission supported by our Business Plan is to have vibrant, well-connected communities. This project aims to create a vibrant and sustainable city centre for Salisbury by improving the pedestrian areas along Fisherton Street to make it easier, safer, and more convenient for local residents, regular visitors and tourists alike to access the city centre. 

“Road improvements of this scale can cause some disruption and we apologise for any inconvenience. With the traffic around Salisbury likely to increase as youngsters return to school and college, we want to remind drivers to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys, taking the one-way system into account.”
