Section B: Mill Street to King Street - 5 October to 6 November 2026
Section C: King Street to Commercial Road - 19 October to 27 November 2026

Important Information for Residents and Businesses

During construction working hours, the following traffic and access arrangements will apply:

• Sections of High Street will be closed to through traffic while roadworks are being undertaken, with detour routes to be signposted.
• Access for local residents, businesses, deliveries and emergency services will be maintained wherever practical.
• On-street parking will not be permitted within active work zones during construction activities.
• Traffic management, detours and reduced speed limits will be in place to ensure the safety of workers and road users.
• Pedestrian access will be maintained where possible, however some footpath closures may be required during specific stages of the works.
