Watford FC fans have been warned of changes to parking on match days.
Starting this Saturday, March 9, the shared-use parking spaces near the Vicarage Road stadium will be suspended from 9am ahead of the 3pm match against Coventry City.
While the public usually cannot park in the bays four hours before kick-off, the ban has now been extended to six hours.
- Plan keeps 25 free parking bays in Kings Langley High Street
- New parking tariffs in Bushey 'final nail in the coffin'
Watford Borough Council said the extension was agreed upon with the club and police in order to prioritise fans and pedestrians’ safety.
It added that non-permit holders must move their vehicles from controlled-parking zone K bays early in the day to avoid penalties.
