Overnight road closures of Fisherton Street for latest improvement works

Fisherton Street in Salisbury will be closed overnight to all vehicles from 7pm to 6am, starting Monday 12 August 2024 for a period of three weeks.

The closures will facilitate the construction of raised continuous footways at side road junctions and enable the road to be resurfaced as part of the Fisherton Gateway project.

During this period pedestrian access along the street will remain available and pedestrian access to all businesses will be maintained at all times.

To support local takeaways and restaurants, takeaway delivery drivers will be able to park in the area behind City Hall and walk through to Fisherton Street to collect takeaways. Delivery drivers can access this area via Avon Approach and the A36. Central Car Park and The Maltings Car Park will remain open as free parking between 6pm and 8am for all users of Fisherton Street.

Cllr Nick Holder, Cabinet Member for Highways, said: The overnight works represent a significant step as we near the completion of the enhancements on Fisherton Street. We recognise the closures will cause some disruption and every effort will be made to minimise this as much as possible.

We are still aiming to complete the enhancements along Fisherton Street by the end of August. In the meantime we would like to thank businesses and residents for their patience and continued co-operation in delivering these important schemes for Salisbury.

One of our Business Plan priorities is to have vibrant well-connected communities and the £9 million investment from the government's Future High Streets Fund is helping us achieve this.
