ACCESS to the city's High Street will be restricted after it was revealed it would be closed.

Worcester BID said business will not be as usual next week after essential maintenance works on a property will close the High Street.

It will be closed from August 1 from 6pm to 5am on August 2.

A spokesperson for Worcester BID said: "Due to essential maintenance works on a property in the High Street, the High Street will be closed.

"There will be no access from The Shambles or the Bottom of Pump Street and New Street or Copenhagen Street as this is closed under an Experimental Order. All deliveries will need to be rescheduled."
