Please note the following during the works:

  • Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained at all times.
  • All site vehicles are fitted with reversing beepers and flashing lights so please be careful when approaching the site.
  • Footway resurfacing operations are noisy and we apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause you. The works have been programmed in co-ordination with our Streetworks teams to ensure that they are carried out at the best times to reduce traffic disruption.
  • Before we close the footway, we may carry out some minor works that may mean that some areas are coned off or temporary traffic lights may be used.
