WINCHESTER'S Parchment Street was closed again today – just days after it was reopened.

Traffic returned to the city centre street earlier this week following a fortnight of road resurfacing work, and the installation of the kite sculpture over the road.

A spokeswoman for Winchester City Council said there had been a miscommunication and the road had been opened earlier than it should have been. She said contractors had returned to carry out more road works but that it was unclear at this stage when the work would be completed.
