10/06/2004 SILVERSTONE GRAND PRIX ROAD CLOSURE DETAILS AVAILABLE ON LINE | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Advice leaflets for drivers, aimed at keeping traffic moving during the 2004 Foster's British Grand Prix at Silverstone, are published today by the British Grand Prix Inter Agency Working Group. The leaflets target three different audiences - local residents, race traffic and through traffic - and publicise the traffic arrangements to help people plan their journeys and keep disruption to a minimum. The Inter Agency Working Group announced in May that the A43 will be closed to non-race traffic between M1 J15a in Northamptonshire and M40 J10 in Oxfordshire from 4am to 10pm on Friday 9, Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 July.
The leaflet for nearby communities tells people about local access routes and how the A43 closure will affect local services such as bus routes. Highways Agency route manager Steve Davy, said: "The leaflets are part of the Inter Agency Working Group's commitment to keep people informed about the arrangements in place for this year's race. We are doing everything possible to minimise the impact of those arrangements and we hope people will find the leaflets useful." The leaflets are available from a number of outlets, including Northamptonshire's tourist information offices, libraries and council offices, as well as petrol stations and motorway service areas. The Inter Agency Working Group will also distribute them to a range of people such as race goers, Formula 1 teams, parish councils, residents, local businesses, motoring organisations and freight operators. They are also available by calling the Highways Agency Information Line on 08457 50 40 30 and can be downloaded at www.highways.gov.uk |
