WREXHAM town centre parking will be temporarily disrupted by the BBC Children in Need concert this month.

In order to assist the BBC with the arrangements for the event on Llwyn Isaf on Friday, November 19, Wrexham Council are advising people who use the library car park that availability will be reduced between Saturday, November 13, and Monday, November 22, inclusive.

The remainder of the spaces will be for those vehicles displaying a disabled badge only.

Car parks, including those at Eagles Meadow, Crescent Road, Waterworld, People's Market, St George's Crescent, St Giles, Market Street, St Mark's (NCP) and Island Green, will be unaffected and the closure is not expected to cause any major problems.

On the evening of the concert all of Wrexham Council's car parks will be available, including the multi-storey at the People's Market, which will be open until 11pm.

A number of car parks have secured status and there is no charge for parking after 5pm.

Chester Street between the library and the Seven Stars Hotel will also be closed between 5pm and 11pm on November 19, to allow safe pedestrian access to the event; drivers are asked to avoid this area.

Rob Wilkinson, chief transportation and engineering officer, said: 'I appreciate that this may cause some inconvenience to drivers wishing to park in the town centre.

'I would like to thank people in advance for their co-operation and I know the event itself will more than make up for the inconvenience.'
