Queen's Walk Reopened - Carpark Changes
15 Mar 2026 — General — Hugh Grosvenor
The good news is that Queen's Walk is open to traffic again.
The council is planning to institute a one-way traffic flow in the main carpark (outside our fence). Work on this is scheduled for either Monday 16 March or Tuesday 17 March and the carpark is likely to be inaccessible while the work is done. They have not been able to clarify which day so players should keep an eye out on both days.
Circulation is going to be in a clockwise direction i.e. when you enter the carpark you will go straight ahead and turn right at the end.
