Roadworks

  Road closures and temporary traffic restrictions

There are extensive roadworks in the area for repair of retaining walls, which involve temporary traffic lights and the odd one-way restriction. There are no road closures.

Stockport Road re-opened at Lydgate

The A6050, which has been closed just south of Lydgate, is now open.

Greenfield Contest

Chew Valley Road will be closed to all traffic other than residents and PSVs. Coaches will not be permitted to follow the bands along Chew Valley Road. Instead they must turn into Greenbridge Lane and then return towards Uppermill.

  Traffic restrictions specifically for the contests

Do please check the road closures and one-way restrictions which are to be put on place specifically for this event.
