Full list of road closures and car park closures in place for Victorious Festival

A number of road closures and parking restrictions will be in place in Southsea this week for Victorious Festival which is taking place this bank holiday weekend.

This is to allow for the safe set up and take down of event infrastructure for the event, to reduce the disruption to traffic likely to be caused by the event and to make the area safer for all road users.
