TRAFFIC NOTICES FOR CARNIVAL DAY

Please note that additional traffic will be travelling along Union Road, Woodville Drive and Station Road during the parade on Saturday, as these roads are being used as temporary diversions.

Several large  vehicles will be taking part in the procession as in previous years. These vehicles will require adequate room to proceed safely.

A larger number of vehicles than usual will be accessing Memorial Park along Garth Road and Stockport Road for the Carnival Car Boot Sale and to set up entertainment and stalls during the day.

SMBC have suspended parking charges for cars parking in Memorial Park car park for the duration of the Carnival.

SMBC traffic management personnel will be assisting with traffic control during the day and there will be "NO WAITING" cones placed along Oldknow Road, Arkwright Road and parts of Strines Road from early Saturday morning.
Thank you.
