THE London Road Courtyard entrance area at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital will be closed off from midnight Tuesday, April 15 to midnight Wednesday, April 16

NHS Gloucestershire said the closure is to facilitate works to renew the line markings as part of the Modular MRI project in the London Road Courtyard.

The closure means there will be no access for vehicles or pedestrians, including to both staff and patients.

NHS Gloucestershire said however that other entrances throughout the hospital will be available for patient and staff use and no main roads will be closed as part of this work.

The news comes following similar brief closures last month, which caused some minor disruption - including London Road Courtyard and the Discharge Lounge.
