COUNCIL owned car parks in Malvern will soon undergo improvements works to enhance safety and accessibility.
Works will include essential maintenance and accessibility improvements, such as redesigned parking bays with new yellow hatching, tactile paving, and designated EV charging with accessible access.
Other updates will include new Blue Badge signage, modifications to kerbs and surfaces, and a pedestrian walkway near public facilities, all aimed at ensuring safe and convenient access for all users.
The planned works started on the Priory Road North and South Car Parks on Monday (June 23) and will last five weeks.
The car parks will still be open to use, however, a small number of spaces will be unavailable.
Following these works, improvements will be made to the Malvern Hills District Council owned car parks over the coming months including Council House Car Park, Edith Walk Car Park, Grange Road Car Park , Victoria Road Car Park, Belle Vue Car Park and Geraldine Car Park.
Improvements have already been made to the car parks in Upton-upon-Severn and work is ongoing in Tenbury Wells.
Councillor John Gallagher, portfolio Holder for Resources at Malvern Hills District Council, said: “These works are so important in making all our car parks accessible for all users.
“This will help residents and visitors feel confident and safe when visiting our town centres.”
