We’ve been informed that Cadent will be replacing the gas pipes outside Martineau Gardens, starting on Tuesday, 23 February. The work is expected to take approximately two weeks to complete.

During this period, there may be days when parking at the gardens is unavailable, as the work will affect our car park entrance. At this stage, it’s unclear whether work will take place over the weekends.

If you’re planning a visit, we recommend using public transport where possible. If you need to use our car park, please check with us beforehand to confirm whether it will be accessible on the day of your visit.

We’ll keep you updated as we receive more information. Thank you for your understanding.
