The council website also states: "As the scheme progresses the traffic management measures will be scaled down where possible and when safe to so, to help minimise the disruption to the area.

"Shropshire Council’s inspection team will monitor the work as it progresses to ensure the contractors are working efficiently and to the agreed timescales.

"Residents and businesses will be notified via a letter drop and advanced warning signs will be placed on site prior to the work starting."
