CARRIAGEWAY PRE-WORKS NEWPORT ROAD, FRESHWATER & FRESHWATER ROAD, SHALFLEET We are writing to let you know about the carriageway improvement works due to take place in your local area shortly, and to provide you with some information and guidance in relation to what will happen during the works, to enable you to plan accordingly. During this work no on-street parking and no vehicle through access will be permitted within the areas of closure. We recognise that these improvement works may cause some inconvenience for residents and businesses, but we hope any disruption will be offset by the long-term improvements we are making. We would like to thank you in advance for your assistance in enabling us to complete these works. Please note, there are a variety of factors including inclement weather and emergency works that may affect the timing of works. Please watch the on-site boards for confirmation/changes of the start date / duration (example shown below).
