Preservation and lining works will be done to the roads around the roundabouts.

The temporary closure order is needed in order to comply with health and safety regulations, which require the provision of safe working areas and to minimise the likelihood of danger to highway users.

It will enable RMS & WJ Lining safe access to carry out preservation and lining works.
