Road closures warning as fun run returns

Activities will take place in Wythall Park alongside the fun run

A number of road closures will be in place as a community fun run takes place.

The Wythall and Hollywood Fun Run is returning on Sunday for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic, said Worcestershire County Council.

Drivers were warned of closures between 9:00 BST and midday, but the council added it aimed to keep disruption to a minimum.

The rolling road closures will affect Silver Street, Batemans Lane, Packhorse Lane, Middle Lane, Wythall Green Way and Wilmore Lane.

The community event, which helps support Primrose Hospice, includes a 5km, 10km and Families on Track (5km) relay race.

"Disruption will be kept to a minimum and a rolling road closure and reopening schedule will be in place on the day," the council said.

The run will begin at 10:00 BST at Wythall Park.

Wythall Community Association, one of the organisers, said it was holding a fun day in the park, with food stalls and entertainment, alongside the event.
