MOTORISTS have been warned to avoid parking on Carpenters Lane in Cirencester today while contractors carry out tree surgery work.

The work began yesterday, but will be compete by this evening.

Peter Lindesay, director of The Croft, left notes on cars parked on the street, off Lewis Lane, earlier this week.

“Any cars parked in the vicinity may be at risk from falling branches,” said the note.

“You are asked not to park here for two days from 4pm on Monday, 13.”
