South Street will be closed in both directions from its junction with Gundry Lane to its junction with West Street from 8.30am until 6.30pm on Sunday, August 15.

The road will be closed to all vehicles and cyclists, except for any used as part of the event or emergency vehicles.

There will be an alternative route in place on the day, taking drivers onto East Street, Sea Road South and West Bay Road. The diversion route is expected to take around seven minutes.
