THE ROAD up to Moel Famau's car park will be closed for five days, Denbighshire Council has said.

Carriageway patching work is due to commence at Bwlch Pen Barras, Moel Famau later this month including the installation of new road markings to prohibit vehicular parking to address traffic congestion and associated damage to the grass verges.
