Nicholsons Shopping Centre is closing for regeneration works.
Nicholsons House will remain open, and all services will continue as normal.
However, there will be changes to how you enter the building and where you can park.
How to access Nicholsons House
The shopping centre will be closed to the public.
You will not be able to enter through the shopping centre.
Access to Nicholsons House will be via a new covered tunnel from the High Street.
The route will be clearly signposted.
Parking information
There is no on-site parking available at Nicholsons House.
Due to the redevelopment works, the existing on-site disabled parking is no longer available. However, patients and visitors can still be dropped off as usual at the fire exit.
Alternative disabled parking is available on Kings Street, approximately a 6-minute walk from Nicholsons House, as well as in the nearby car parks listed below.
Nearby car parks within a short walking distance:
West Street Car Park - 4-minute walk - up to 2 hours: £4.40
Grove Road Car Park - 8-minute walk - up to 2 hours: £2.00
Drop-off Arrangements
Patients who would normally be dropped off at the fire exit can continue to use this arrangement.
Taxis, carers, family members, and patient transport services may still use the usual drop-off point to assist patients who are unable to walk from the nearby parking locations.
When these changes apply
Access to Nicholsons House via the new covered tunnel from the High Street will be in place from Friday 10 July.
The changes to access and parking will be in place for the full duration of the shopping centre redevelopment works.
