Notification of Road Closure on Friday, 12 September 2025
Dear Patients and Customers,
We require to inform you of an upcoming road closure that will directly impact The Downland Pharmacy & The Downland Practice on Friday, 12 September 2025. The closure will be in effect from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
I understand that this may cause some inconvenience to both staff and patients, and I appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate through this one-time disruption.
The mitigations we have put in place for operational delivery for patients are as follows:
• We will contacted all patients by phone and text that have appointments on Friday and informed them that they must allow additional time to park up and arrive for their appointments.
• Those patients with mobility issues & blue badge holders will be authorised to come through to the practice by the traffic control.
• Blue Light Services will be permitted at any time should we require.
• Pharmacy Stock has been incresased to reduce the number of deliveries on Friday morning.
• Practice Manager has contacted the Bloods & Samples services & Midwives to inform them that they will need to park up and walk round to the surgery to collect samples and attend appointments
• The Downland Pharmacy will remain open for the duration patients will need to enter East Lane from the Oxford Road junction and park on the left of the road and walk to The Downland Pharmacy and The Downland Practice
Thank you for your support and understanding while this work takes place. Please take extra care when arriving on Friday.
