                 What impact will it have on me?   

To enable us to access the drains, please do not park your vehicle in your road during our working hours on this day. This will enable us to carry out the works efficiently and minimise disruption and inconvenience to residents.
Please be advised that any vehicle hindering or obstructing our operations will be moved under the Portsmouth City Council (Highway Maintenance & Public Cleansing) (Temporary Prohibition of Driving, Loading & Waiting) (No 04) Order 2020.

What precautions should I take?
If you are unable to move your vehicle due to holidays or sickness, please ensure it is not parked over a drain. Any vehicle obstructing our work will need to be moved to the nearest convenient place.
