Published: Wednesday, 1st June 2022

Motorists and visitors to Burslem are reminded that a number of streets will be closed and have restricted access around the Port Vale ground on Saturday (4 June) for the Robbie Williams gig.

Hamil Road, from the junction of High Lane to Jenkins Street, and Bycars Road will be closed to through traffic, and there will be no access from Hamil Road to Market Place (North).

A number of residential streets off Hamil Road and surrounding the ground will operate residents-only access, and staff from Event Support Team, the company managing the arrangements for the gig, will be on site to support local residents in accessing their properties.

Concert-goers will be able to access taxi-drop off and pick-up points in Burslem Park after the gig, between 9.30-11pm. Taxis from Lucky Seven and City Centre cabs will access the park from Moorland Road and exit onto Park Road, and the taxi route will be marshalled for pedestrian safety.

Around 20,000 fans are expected to attend the concert on Saturday. Motorists are urged to allow extra time for their journeys and to plan on using alternative routes if they are not attending the gig.
