PROPOSED HIGHWAY WORKS IN YOUR AREA
LOCATION: – Batcombe Road Leigh
To enable us to carry out essential highway maintenance works, we plan to close Batcombe Road Leigh from 14th to 17th January 2025. The road will be closed daily between the hours of 09:30 to 15:30 and will be re-opened to traffic overnight.

We will be carrying out targeted and localised repairs to sections of those roads highlighted in red on the attached map. The recommended diversion route is marked in blue, and this will remain in place for the full duration of the above works. National regulations state that traffic must be diverted onto roads with the same classification as the one that is closed. For the health and safety of all parties, vehicular and pedestrian access is only available by calling the telephone number listed on our onsite signage.

This will allow residents to be escorted safely on and off site by a Traffic Management Operative.

If you wish to discuss these works in more detail, please contact me using the details below.
Yours faithfully
