A reminder about tomorrow's planned roadworks at Netham Lock.

🚦Don't forget that work to replace the traffic lights and build new pedestrian and cycle crossings at Netham Road's junction with Feeder Road is starting tomorrow - Monday 5 October.

This essential maintenance work will take around 10 to 12 weeks and will prevent the aging traffic signals from failing in the future and make it safer to cross the road.

There will be temporary traffic lights and lane closures in place. Please leave more time for your journeys as delays are to be expected.
