A section of Sidmouth's Roxburgh car park will be closed this week for work on new electric vehicle chargers, East Devon District Council has announced.

The area will close for five days from today, Monday 24 October, to Friday 28 October. The rest of the car park will stay open.

The closure will reportedly allow contractors to link up the new EV chargers to a power source.
