Cannock Chase road closures for today's Commonwealth Games mountain biking

As well as road closures, there will be parking restrictions for residential streets to help residents living in the Rugeley area access their homes and reduce spectator parking.

Cannock Chase Forest is a popular destination with many people visiting to cycle, walk along the walking trails, visit the Go Ape centre plus much more.

Around 2,500 ticketed spectators are expected to attend, as well as many more lining the trail for a glimpse of the event.

The mountain biking events will be run from 11.30am-4pm on Wednesday.
