🚧 JUBILEE WAY SERVICE ROAD CLOSURE 🚧

The Jubilee Way Service Road in Caldicot Town Centre —the road running around Jubilee Way Car Park—will be closed on Wednesday 9 September for up to 24 hours to allow surface markings to be repainted.

🚗 All vehicles must be removed from the service road by 11pm on Tuesday 8 September.

Any vehicles left on the road may be removed or towed, with the owner liable for any associated charges.

We apologise for the short notice; unfortunately, the timing of the work is dependent on contractor availability.

We will accommodate local businesses and residents as much as possible. However, please be aware that access cannot be guaranteed while the work is underway.

For everyone’s safety, please do not remove, move or ignore any barriers or signage, as doing so may cause further delays and disruption.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
