There will be extra night-time closures of Bridge Street over the coming bank holiday weekends, when the town centre is expected to be busier than usual.
Over the Easter, Royal Wedding and May Day bank holidays, there will be four additional overnight closures of the street:
Between:
• 10pm Thursday 21 April and 4am on Good Friday, 22 April
• 10pm Sunday 24 April and 4am on Easter Monday, 25 April
• 10pm Thursday 28 April and 4am on Friday 29 April
• 10pm Sunday 1 May and 4am on Monday 2 May
The closures are taking place under the Town Police Clauses Act 1847, which allows a road to be closed for a particular event.
There have been extra closures of Bridge Street on several previous bank holidays, which have proved to be very effective.
A spokesman for the Northampton Community Safety Partnership said: "We’re expecting a very busy time in the town centre because of the long holiday period and we want to ensure that anyone visiting the area can walk easily and safely through Bridge Street.”
A decision on the permanent closure of Bridge Street is still awaited.
