Aldi car park planned improvement works

16 January 2026

Car park update

Now that the MSCP is back open, and to support Aldi long-term, we’re carrying out surface car park reconfiguration works from Monday 19 January for around 12 weeks.

The works will happen in three clear phases listed below, with access to both  car parks maintained throughout. Some routes will change along the way, but signage will be in place to guide you.

Thanks for bearing with us while we make these improvements, we’ll keep sharing updates as the works progress.
