Update from County Council regarding Gate roadworks

The closure will be put in place at 20:00hrs on 25th October to allow work to commence on Saturday. The closure is for the duration of half term, or until such time as all their works are completed (see map below).

We will be inspecting regularly commencing on Saturday 26th October to ensure works are ongoing. We will keep you informed if anything changes.

The closure will be a non-movable closure ie heras fencing and water filled barriers to prevent any access through at all.

1m will be left for pedestrians to safely pass. Access will be allowed to the School Bungalow.

Access to and beyond as detailed in the previous notification ( and included below map)

Background on this closure is:-

We have received over the last few months requests for utility connections to be made into the new site (Bredon Gate) relating to :-

Dirty Water, Clean Water, BT. We have insisted on collaborative working to hopefully keep any disturbances to a minimum to locals.

All utility connections will need to be undertaken with a full road crossing, hence the need for a full closure. We have asked for advance warning signage to be placed out on site and a letter drop to be carried out.
