The Council have announced that the Five Bridges (Bellevue) Roundabout will be closed from Sunday 21 June until Wednesday 16 July while that part of the flyover is removed. During this time:

- There will be a shuttle bus for residents in the Sunderland Road area, as some bus routes will be diverted.

- The bus lane on Durham Road (west side of Five Bridges roundabout) will be temporarily suspended for northbound traffic. Traffic will be able to travel in both directions between Sunderland Road and Old Durham Road on the east side of the roundabout.

- There will be additional traffic lights at the Bensham Road roundabout.

- Access to the Tesco car park will be via Lambton Street. Traffic will be able to enter from the High Street and Oakwellgate junction, but will be able to leave in either direction.

Full details haven't been announced yet but see the council website for the press release.

We’ve published a new page with Bowls England on the proposed amalgamation of our organisations to form England Bowls, which will be one organisation for indoor and outdoor flat green bowls. The document covers the benefits of merging and how it would strengthen our sport, an explanation of the process, and answers some key questions.

We’ll keep updating it as the project progresses and continue engaging with our bowls community.

With the Commonwealth Games now just eight weeks away, and bowls set to take centre stage, our sport is about to enjoy a major surge in visibility. This means more people discovering our sport and walking through the doors of local clubs.

To help you make the most of it, our recruitment campaign guide offers practical steps to create a warm, positive experience for potential members. We’d also love to hear how your club welcomes newcomers so we can share great ideas across the bowls community.
