EXTRA car parking spaces are being created at St Saviour's doctors' surgery in Merick Road.

The Malvern Link practice's car park will be closed from Monday, February 28, for two weeks while work to create 12 additional spaces goes on.

Practice manager Sandra Grigg said: "The new spaces will create more room, especially as Merick Road residents are conscious of the fact that patients are parking in the street. We need to create more spaces for people attending the surgery which is getting bigger and bigger."

She added Kwik Save had agreed that patients would be able to park to the right hand side of its carpark entrance for the duration of the work.

They can then follow the footpath to Merick Road.
