Repairs are being carried out on Fort Royal Wall in London Road
REPAIRS need to be made to a historic wall which is bulging over a busy footpath.
A section of the pavement on London Road, alongside Fort Royal Park, has been temporarily closed.
Signs are in place asking pedestrians to cross to the other side of the road.
The closure has been put in place opposite Green Hill, next to 55 London Road, so that repairs can be made to the retaining wall of Fort Royal Park.
The 8ft wall directly adjoins the park and has been slowly bulging out into the footpath over the last six months.
The cause of the structural damage to the wall is still being investigated.
Repairs are expected to take around three months, and the footpath closure will remain in place throughout that period.
