Council’s construction of centre parking in Elbow Street between Sea Street and Tozer Street, West Kempsey is proceeding on schedule. The line marking is planned for Wednesday evening, 25 November. To cause minimal disruption to the public, the work is being carried out at night. Detours will be in place whilst the line marking is in progress. Tree planting and installation of street furniture will follow.

Alternative parking is available in Edinburgh Lane, which runs parallel behind the Elbow Street shops. Some businesses have rear access to this parking and there is a walkway through from Edinburgh Lane to Elbow Street between the Macleay Community College and the former Meals on Wheels office.

Council has erected signs and other safety barriers to assist with the pedestrian access.

Council recognises, and apologises for, inconvenience these works will cause but is aiming to have them completed as quickly as possible to minimise the disruption for members of the public and the business community.
