Elgin's Batchen Lane car park to close for four weeks from October 16 for maintenance works

A POPULAR Elgin car park will close for four weeks, while maintenance work is completed.

Work has already began on Batchen Lane car park, in the town centre – with second floor of the four level multi-storey currently closed to the public. The car park, which has 210 parking spaces, is expected to close on October 16 for a period of four weeks while the maintenance works are completed.

A spokesperson from Moray Council said: "The work being undertaken is waterproofing, and expansion joint and surface water drainage replacement. These works are important to maintain the car park facility, and the type of work being carried out means they need to be done in more clement weather before winter conditions begin. We're pleased that the works have already commenced and will be concluded as soon as possible."

Monthly permit holders who typically use the Batchen Lane car park, have been advised to park in the Hall Place car park which is located across from the multi-storey car park, for the duration of the closure.
