PARKING restrictions are set to be put in place on Forres High Street from this week.

The Spaces For People project is happening across Scotland with restrictions coming into place on Friday, June 26.

Forres High Street will be impacted, with no parking across from the co-op in town to be allowed.

Roads in Elgin, Fochabers and Lossiemouth will also be impacted.

Parking will be prohibited on the east end of Elgin High Street and outside the co-op store on Fochabers High Street. Restrictions will also be imposed on Clifton Road and Queen Street in Lossiemouth.

The council explained that these restrictions will not include road closures. The idea is to ensure pedestrians can walk around queues of people waiting to get into shops.

Local business have been asked what their plans and requirements are as more open to the public.

Further restrictions may result from this consultation, with the situation under constant review.

Meanwhile, traffic travelling over the New Elgin Road railway bridge will be managed. Pedestrian barriers are set to be erected in the northbound traffic lane to allow pedestrians and cyclists to use it safely.
