Essential maintenance works to replace a manhole cover near the entry barrier at Jack Martin will take place from 2nd November until 6th November.

During these works, the usual vehicle entrance at Jack Martin on Health Centre Road will be temporarily closed.

Vehicles requiring access to or from the Jack Martin area will need to use the alternative route via Car Park 8a, near the Junction Building, accessible via Lord Bhattacharyya Way and Academic Loop Road.
