*A carriageway raised table is a speed hump with a long flat section generally used at junctions and which can also improve crossing facilities for pedestrians
All diversion routes will be signed and advance notification signage in place before commencement. Pedestrian access and emergency vehicle access will always be maintained.
The above dates are subject to change given the weather susceptible nature of the construction process.
Further correspondence providing more specific details including contact details for any queries and access arrangements will be issued to all properties directly impacted by the work.
