I just spoke with the two workmen who were doing this work and the road is only closed on one lane of Quarry Bank, cars can get passed easily, but I suspect wide vehicles may struggle.

Please be patient with the workers, they are doing their job and recognised that the road need not be closed – they have had some ‘abuse’ from one driver, but everybody else is being understanding.

We have just received this notice which runs from Monday 25th October 2021 and will be in force for a maximum of five days. It is anticipated that the work will last for approximately 2 days.
