During this work no on-street parking and no vehicle through access will be permitted within the areas of closure. As this site is part of a five-week rolling programme, please note that there are a variety of factors including emergency works and especially inclement weather that may affect the timing of works. Please watch the on-site boards for confirmation/changes of the start date / duration (example shown below). Timing of the works: • Surface Dressing works are due to start during week commencing Thursday 24th April for approximately 1 day. • Works will take place during the day between 07:30 – 18:00. • The works will be followed by a sealant treatment approximately 4 days later, under a road closure which will take no longer than 4 hours. • In between the road will be swept by a mechanical sweeper several times. Please ensure that you look out for the sweeper and move your vehicle to avoid delays. • Advance warning boards with start and end dates will be erected before works commence.
