Shops will be forced to close in Alexandria unless businesses aren’t supported during major revamp works, it has been warned.
The heart of the Vale is undergoing extensive works which will see the iconic Smollett Fountain renovated and the eyesore Mitchell Way finally demolished.
However the works - which are expected to remain in place until at least November - have caused chaos for motorists, with Sian Wilkie of Alexandria Traders’ Association warning that local shops could be forced to close if more isn’t done to help them.
