Residents of Helston have been reminded that numerous roads will be closed on Friday for the annual Flora Day celebrations.

In a letter from Sergeant Putnam of the Helston Neighbourhood Team, motorists were informed that the closure will operate from 5.30am until 11.59pm and will affect Meneage Street to its junction with Grange Road, Monument Road, Church Street from its junction with Coinagehall Street to its junction with Church Hill, Cross Street, St. John’s Road and Almshouse/Nettles Hill, with Coinagehall Street closing from 4.30am.

There will also be parking restrictions on those streets for the entire day, from 12am to 12am, and any vehicle which obstructs the route or is likely to cause danger to the public will be removed at the owner’s expense.

The Porthleven Road will be closed from its junction with the A394 Penzance Road to Squires Lane from 8pm the day before Flora Day until midnight, and again from 5.30 am on Friday until midnight, with a one-way system in Ratcliffe Lane from Helston to Porthleven.
