A town centre car park is set to close for two weeks.

The Elingfield pay and display in Totton will shut for 14 days to facilitate "essential improvement works."

New Forest District Council said on Facebook that the works will include "resurfacing, relining and other sustainable upgrades."

The 70-space long-stay car park will be resurfaced with asphalt and reopen Monday, November 18.

Drivers are being asked to find alternative long stay parking at Rumbridge Street, or blue-badge holders can park free of charge all day at Winsor Street. 

There are also two other public council-controlled car parks in Totton at the Civic Centre and Westfield.

A public consultation is currently active regarding the repurposing of New Forest District Council's car parks, as residents are being warned  that "underused" car parks could be redeveloped to address "housing needs" as part of a new council strategy.
