Drop-in event on experimental road closures next Wednesday

At last week's on-site meeting in Ruffet Road to discuss the experimental road closures, Claire Young asked highways officials to hold a proper consultation event in a local hall so that everyone could have their say.

A drop-in will be held from 3pm to 6pm next Wednesday (9th May) in Henfield Hall. If you live in Ruffet Road, Coalsack Lane or any of the other local roads that could be affected by the proposed closures, this is a great chance to talk to highways officials about them.

The proposals for Ruffet Road and Coalsack Lane are currently on hold so that officials can discuss the exact locations of experimental closure points with the local community. The closure of the Bromley Heath Road service road at its junction with Quakers Road is remaining in the same position as during the Bromley Heath Viaduct works at the request of residents. Further consultation will take place with regard to the form and location a permanent closure might take. The experimental closures of Bromley Heath Road north of the ring road, Bury Hill and Cuckoo Lane are continuing in the positions advertised.
