Latest on the Westerleigh crossing scheme

You may recall that following the strong response from local residents, officers agreed to fund the white lining on Shorthill Road from a separate budget. They have now announced that despite the fact the contractors will need to close the road for up to three weeks for safety reasons, there is enough money in the crossing scheme budget to extend the kerbing for 60m. The work will be done in April and more information about the road closures will be sent to local residents and businesses nearer the time.
