MORE car parking spaces are to be provided for shoppers and visitors in Radcliffe.

On Monday, work started on a new public car park on Blackburn Street at the site of demolished terraced properties and refurbishment of the existing back street route, from the new car park on to Abden Street, will be carried out.

Traffic flow will be restricted to one-way easterly direction from the junction with Wolsey Street, to the junction with Blackburn Street.

The work is expected to take about eight weeks.
