Cleales car park
Work is about to begin on a long-awaited 110-space car park ideally positioned to ease parking problems in the heart of Haverhill town centre.
The Cleales car park will be created between Quakers Lane and the existing Town Hall car park. During construction, the Helions Service Road will be widened, lighting installed and drainage works carried out. A path for pedestrians and cyclists will also stretch across the site.
Cllr Jeff Stevens, Chairman of the Haverhill Area Working Party and Deputy Leader of the Council, said:
“This long-awaited project will help ease parking problems in Haverhill at a site which is perfectly located to provide convenience for people using the town centre. The exciting scheme again shows our commitment to investing in Haverhill and is one of the first in a range of initiatives planned for the town.”
St Edmundsbury is currently carrying out initial work to find out where utility services will go. From 1 June, parking will be banned in the Helions Service Road while the route is widened. Later in June, Quakers Lane will be closed between the Quakers Meeting House and Ex Servicemen’s Club to both pedestrians and vehicles while a sewerage system is installed. The completed car park should open in late October.
The car park will act as an extension to the existing Town Hall car park.
