Hull Fair rolls into town tomorrow, and a number of road closures and parking restrictions will be in place.
This year’s fair will run from Friday 7 October to Saturday 15 October (closed on Sunday 9 October).
One of the largest travelling fairs in Europe, it boasts more than 250 rides and an array of attractions on the Walton Street fairground.
To minimise the impact on residents, parking in surrounding streets will be available only to those with residents’ parking passes.
Parking restrictions will be in place in the following streets from Wednesday 5 October until Sunday 16 October.
- Granville Street
- Lowther Street
- Paisley Street
- Perry Street
- Ruskin Street
- Sandringham Street
- Walliker Street.
Temporary signage will be installed to indicate where restrictions are in place.
Helen Thackeray, corporate events manager for Hull City Council, said: “As we do every year, we have been looking into all aspects of the fair site and its effect on surrounding residents.
“The traffic management we have put in place over the past few years has worked very well and we will be repeating it again for this year.”
