Road in Bishop's Castle town centre to close for resurfacing works next month

Shropshire Council has announced that Salop Street in the south Shropshire town will be resurfaced between Wednesday, January 15 and Friday, January 17.

Work will take place from 9.30am to 4pm each day and the road will be closed during these times.

The local authority said: "During the closures a signed diversion will be place - and access/egress for properties and businesses within the closure will be maintained when safe to do so. Depending on their vehicle type, road users may be able to choose an alternative diversion route.

"People are asked not to park on the road during the day whilst the work is in progress.

"All planned roadworks are subject to change due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances. Any changes will be displayed on the yellow advanced warning signs and on One Network."

Shropshire Council added that during the work, access to the works area will be restricted to:

• Local residents who live and reside within the road closure

• Businesses located within the closure (if applicable)

• Pedestrians, dismounted cyclists and equestrians

• Emergency vehicles
