A busy Swansea city centre car park is to be closed for two days this week.
Oxford Street car park, near the Grand Theatre, will be out of action on Monday and Tuesday.
It is to allow ground works to be carried out, in relation to the installation of electric vehicle charging points, including excavation work across its main entrance.
The council has signposted people to alternative locations they can park in the meantime. Never miss a Swansea story by signing up to our newsletter here.
It might cause disruption for those planning on watching Opera Boys – The Farewell Tour, featuring Paul Potts, which is on at the Grand on Tuesday night.
A statement from Swansea Council read: “We will be closing Oxford Street car park for two days on Monday, September 28, and Tuesday, September 29.
“The closure is necessary to complete ground works linked to the installation of ultra-rapid EV charging points at the car park.
“Most of the work, to date, has been completed without the need for a full closure.
“The latest phase includes ground excavation work across the main entrance to the car park and means we are unable to keep it open while this is completed.
“Alternative parking can be found nearby at the Quadrant MSCP or Paxton Street.”
