PARTS of two major carparks in Winchester have been closed due to maintenance work.

The Brooks car park and Tower Street car park in Winchester have been temporarily closed due to maintenance work being carried out by their operators, Winchester City Council.

Line marking at The Brooks began on Monday, February 9 and is part of a large transformation being undertaken in the space, to provide easier access for visitors coming in to the centre.

The lower parking level is currently closed as workmen complete the line marking to extend the bays. After work is carried out they will move to the upper level meaning it'll be closed to shoppers.

According to The Brooks the work will see a reduction and extension of spaces from 320 to around 240 and is forecast to take two weeks.

Tower Street car park also shut its upper level parking for two days on Wednesday, February 11 to Thursday, Feburary 12, as a result of scheduled repair work by WCC. It is unspecified what exactly is being carried out during that time.

WCC operate a large number of car parks in the city centre including Upper Brook Street, Cossack Lane, Middle Brook Street, Colebrook Street, Jewry Street, Chesil multi‑storey and Chesil Street surface.​ It also operates multiple P&R car parks.
