PARKING at Coronation Hall in Woodley will now be restricted.
From Wednesday, July 13, the gate will be locked when the hall is not in use.
A spokesperson for Woodley Town Council said: “Many of the hirers at Coronation Hall have been arriving for their bookings to find few or no available parking spaces.
“This is a particular problem for older people attending bookings who cannot park near to the hall.
“There is signage in place advising that the car park is for hall users only, however, there are often many cars parked that are visiting The Oakwood Centre, the park or the shops.”
The council has also confirmed that any unauthorised vehicles parked will be locked in.
People are encouraged to find alternatives with free parking available at Woodford Park Leisure Centre or the pay and display car parks in the town centre.
