Roadworks

Needless to say, they seem to be everywhere. In the past, the local council has sought to ensure that traffic delays are kept to a minimum on Whit Friday. So many of the temporary traffic lights should be suspended over the Whit weekend. Whilst we are not aware of any serious problems, it is not possible to obtain detailed information of any potential delays. But do please check the road closures and one-way restrictions which are to be put on place specifically for this event.

At Lydgate crossroads, coach drivers are warned to be extra careful if they have a long wheel-base vehicle, because of the sharp change in camber.
