Borough Council’s annual summer road resurfacing is due to begin on Monday 8 August.
The only road
in Caversham Heights on the list scheduled for resurfacing and traffic management
is the Upper Woodcote Road in 2 sections: Richmond Road to Woodcote Way and
Blagrave Lane to house no 188. The road
is due to be closed 3 days 9.30 am to 3.30 pm 9th August to 11th August. The whole project is expected to last four
weeks, weather permitting.
Advance
notices will be in place in the days before work on a road begins. Notification
letters will also be delivered to nearby residents and businesses affected,
detailing the length of the works. Signed diversions will be in operation when
road closures are required.
