A POPULAR car park will be closed on Sunday for maintenance.

Colchester Council's St John's Car Park in the town centre will be shut from 10pm on Saturday until 6am the following Monday.

Temporary signs will be put up to advise motorists of alternative locations for parking.

Council parking boss Mike Lilley (Lab) said: "We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this closure but completing these works will help keep St John’s Car Park a high-quality facility to be used by all those living in and visiting Colchester.

“With our Sunday parking offer, all day for just £1, and our other great value town centre car parks, we are sure residents and visitors will find a car park to suit their needs.”
