Cumberland Council is informing residents and businesses that drainage improvement works on Newtown Road will commence on Monday 17 July.

The improvements will take place between numbers 265 to 291 on Newtown Road and are scheduled to start on Monday 17 July with a completion date of Friday 28 July. The works will take place from approximately 8am until 4pm each day.

To enable the council to complete works safely there will be a full road closure with a signed diversion route in place. People are advised to plan their journeys accordingly and follow the designated diversion route. The road closure will continue over the weekend of Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 July.

There may be some disruption at times for residents, and the council are asking that residents find alternative parking. If residents or businesses require access to their property, we kindly request that this is discussed with the Traffic Marshal who will be on site during the works.

Cumberland Council wishes to thank the community for their continued support and patience while improvements are made to the road network and apologises for any inconvenience.
