Alfred Place Park
A new road being laid on Alfred Place has been brought forward so there will be diversions for cars, but still pedestrian access. For a future project, electric cables need to be placed so changes have been made to accomodate this. Plans for the pavement works and road works can be found on West End Project site.

- Alfred Place between Chenies Street and just south of the Law Courts will be closed from 30 September – 9 November.
- Alfred Place between Store Street and just south of the Law Courts will be closed from 10 November – 24 December.
