Road Closure Planned for Newtown Road at Somers Park Avenue within next couple of months - watch here for further details

Following meetings with traders and concerns about developments which would involve roadside parking restrictions on  Newtown Road, Worcestershire County Council have informed me of plans to close the road near Somers Park Avenue within the next couple of months due to scheduled roadworks. 

Working with the relevant officers at the Council we are currently enquiring if the closure can be postponed to the far side of Christmas to ease the trading period in the run up to Christmas.  We are waiting to hear further.

The Council are not clear how long this road closure will be in place.  The information will be on the Worcestershire County Council website once the order has been processed, (as this one has only just been requested the details are not on the website just yet) under Transport and Streets then under Roadworks and Road Closures.  All the information about the closure should be uploaded once the order has been processed, which will give you the dates the closure is booked in for.

The road closure is planned in relation to National Grid Gas Mains pipe maintenance.  If anyone has any queries about this road closure they will need to call the Worcestershire HUB on 01905 765 765 or email me on emmerson@themarch.freeserve.co.uk
