In order to carry out this work, a construction boom will be used near the northeast door at the rear of York Lanes. It will be fenced off and covered for safety, causing an obstruction for pedestrians.

This work is expected to last two weeks, weather permitting. The obstruction will only be in place for a few days. Pedestrians who normally use this entrance will be asked to walk around the fencing.

Why is work being done?
