Access during works
We have to close roads to provide enough room for the patching and surface dressing to be carried out safely.
Depending on the road width and nature of the site, this may involve a road closure with local diversions and/or traffic lights or "stop/go" boards.
Access to properties and businesses within the roadworks site will be available subject to ongoing operations.
Our staff are on site to answer questions and to help you get into or out of the roadworks site safely using the right route through our works.
However, access to your property may be temporarily unavailable for about 15-20 minutes, (e.g. if we are digging up the road or footpath outside your driveway, or laying a new surface where you need to drive).
We understand that businesses need to know that customers can still visit, so where appropriate we will display information saying "Businesses open as usual".
Other services are notified of planned roadworks, e.g. your local council for bin collections.
On-street parking will be unavailable for the duration of the works. Please find an alternative place to park during this time. This will allow the resurfacing work on the first day to be completed as quickly as possible and disruption to be minimised. If needed, the following day will be used to sweep any excess material off the road, using a mechanical sweeper.
Access would immediately be made available to any emergency vehicle.
