THE Tour Series returns to Redditch tomorrow, Thursday, May 9, with the cream of British bike riders speeding around the town for the eighth consecutive year.
This will mean a series of road closures will need to take place for the duration of the event.

“For the race to take place and riders to access the course, a number of key roads in the town will need to be closed on race day.
