STREETS will be closed off because of the Huddersfield Food and Drink Festival.

Council officers shut Railway Street at 6am today and it will remain closed until midnight on Sunday.

People will be able to access the road running in front of The George Hotel throughout the four-day festival and can use this to drop off passengers for the railway station.

Parking for disabled visitors will be available near The Head of Steam but drivers must show their Blue Badge passes.

Visitors to the festival have been urged to use car parks at the bus station and on the fringes of the town centre.
