The closure will provide room for the construction site to be established as well as providing parking for the construction vehicles, and the council says that these closures are necessary to keep the public and the construction team safe throughout the remodelling.

The car parks will remain closed to the public throughout the build programme.

It will be opened prior to the launch of the new arts and entertainment venue, Fareham Live, in 2024.

The access road to the front of the site will remain open for vehicular access to the library and taxi rank only.

The council says that there are plenty of alternative car parks for town centre visitors and further information with maps can be found here.
