Upcoming nighttime closures
Weather notice
The poor weather conditions have affected our ability to proceed with the planned the night works as surfacing cannot be carried out in heavy rain. We are continuing to review the situation and will carry out what works we can this week weather permitting. Please be advised works will now continue on further into next week than originally planned as a result of this delay.
Between 8pm to 6am on Monday 23 September to Monday 30 September, road resurfacing works will take place.
Road surfacing works will take place in the following locations:
- Herbert Street and Hurst Park Avenue
- Birch Close and Fraser Road
- a small area near Oak Tree Avenue
- a small area of Highworth Avenue, where it meets Leys Road.
