THERE are several upcoming road closures in the Redditch area to allow for maintenance and utility works.

Worcestershire County Council has published notices outlining five planned closures affecting Redditch, Feckenham and Hollywood.

The works include gas mains replacement, telecommunications improvements and repairs to drainage infrastructure.

The notices can be viewed on the Public Notice Portal via: publicnoticeportal.uk

Part of a footpath at Snowshill Close in Redditch will close from November 2 for approximately 26 days while Cadent carries out gas mains replacement works.

Pedestrians will be directed along a different portion of Snowshill Close as an alternative route.

Parsons Road in Redditch will close from November 3 for two days while Severn Trent Water replaces a manhole cover.

The closure will affect an 82-metre section of the road leading to the end of the cul-de-sac.

No alternative route will be available due to the location of the works.

Coupass Cottages in Feckenham will also close from November 3 for three days while Openreach carries out utility works.

The closure will extend from the junction with High Street to the end of the cul-de-sac, with no alternative diversion available.

Meanwhile, Corbett Road in Hollywood will close for one day, the exact date yet to be specified, from November 3 to allow Openreach to replace a telegraph pole.

The affected section runs between Easton Grove and Heath Road, with motorists diverted via Heath Road and Dyas Road.

A further footpath closure is planned in Slimbridge Close, Redditch, from November 4.

The closure will affect the link footpath between properties 45 and 46, connecting footpaths near Wells Close and Slimbridge Close.

Openreach will carry out work to install new ducting, with the closure expected to last three days.

Pedestrians will be directed along alternative footpaths through Wells Close and Slimbridge Close during the works.

The council has confirmed that access to properties affected by the closures will be permitted where no other access is available.

Although the temporary road orders can remain in force for up to 18 months and the footpath orders for up to six months, the anticipated duration of each closure is considerably shorter.

Motorists and pedestrians are advised to plan their journeys accordingly.
