Status
The council says Reliance Street (M40 3EZ) is temporarily closed to undergo major improvement works and expects it to reopen in early 2027. Updates are promised on its website and social channels closer to the time. An older notice said the closure would start in June 2025, so ignore any page that still lists the site as open.
