Bus stops along Warkton Lane will be suspended during the works as no through route being available. Please contact your local bus provider for further information.

Footways will always be open for pedestrian access during the works. 

The works are planned to be undertaken between the side road junctions (Constable Drive, Hogarth Drive, Poplars Farm Road and Stubbs Lane) to allow access to residents. Access will be controlled by our site team.

To help us complete the work as quickly and efficiently as possible, we kindly ask that if you need to use your car, driveways and parked cars on Warkton Lane must be vacated from the works area by 07:45am each morning.

Where properties fall inside the works area, there will be no vehicle access available until the phase of works are completed and we have created safe passage. We understand the importance of access to your driveway and will do our best to ensure it's available during the evening during the resurfacing phase.

When safe to do so, we will aim to reduce overnight and weekend road closures. We will complete these works as efficiently as possible to keep disruption to a minimum.
