These are the details of the closures:
- West Street closure from Junction Road to Pump Corner – from 7am to 8pm.
- High Street closure from Lyons Court to Pump Corner – from 7am to 8pm.

- North Street – from the car park to the junction with Pump Corner from 7am to 8pm.
- During the closures, the direction of Junction Road will be reversed to allow access to Waitrose from West Street.
