Newland Avenue road closure

John Fareham and John Abbott report that Newland Avenue will be closed to traffic for railway bridge repairs from 8 pm on Monday 28th October until 6 am on the 29th. The Council have obtained an order to divert traffic in order that both the Network Rail people doing the repairs and local residents who might otherwise have driven under the bridge may do what they’re doing or go where they’re going in safety. Technically the order could run for up to eighteen months or until the work is finished, whichever is sooner, but the work is expected to take only the one night. We pass this information on so that local residents who normally travel via Newland Avenue at these times of day can be aware of the diversion and make such other arrangements as they consider necessary.
