Existing hard paving in front of buildings is largely unaffected so there will be minimal disruption and businesses will remain open throughout the works HSHAZ works are funding through @HistoricEngland, @BarrowCouncil and @BarrowBID

Temporary suspension of parking bays will be commencing from 17th October and moving up the road in phases between the Cavendish St junction and Ramsden Sq. Bus stops outside TNT Records and Forrester's Solicitors will also be temporarily suspended during the works.

Works are starting this week on improvements to Duke Street. The finished scheme will include trees, planting and new furniture to make the street a more pleasant place to be. Works are part of the wider HSHAZ scheme to repair buildings on the street and deliver cultural events.

Following the announcement of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II yesterday, all events associated with the Festival of Built Heritage today and tomorrow will be cancelled. The Barrow Borough Council statement on her passing can be read here: barrowbc.gov.uk/news/tributes-…
