From Saturday 30 May Thomas Street will only be open for vehicle access between 6am and 10am and 6pm and 7pm. Motor traffic will be prevented from entering this area, and we are introducing amended traffic regulation orders, and installing removable barriers.

As restrictions around COVID-19 are gradually eased, we hope that Thomas Street will return to being a thriving part of the Northern Quarter, used by visitors and residents alike, especially in the evenings and at weekends.

To help this to happen while social distancing is still in place, and to allow for space for queueing outside businesses (as well as safe pedestrian access for those passing through) it has been decided to extend the times when Thomas Street is a pedestrian and cycle zone (currently weekend evenings and bank holidays).
