Somerset Council will be resurfacing one of the county’s key roads next week.
Work on the B3227 between Wiveliscombe and Preston Bowyer is scheduled across 2 days from 11 to 13 June inclusive. It’s hoped the work will be completed in one day, weather and schedule dependent.
The road will be closed to vehicles from 9.30am to 3pm. The road will be open as normal outside these hours.
Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout for residents – there may be some restrictions or delays for vehicle access on occasion to some properties and residents should liaise with the site team on this.
Somerset Council’s Lead Member for Transport and Waste Services, Councillor Richard Wilkins said:
This is an important scheme for a busy route between Wiveliscombe and Preston Bowyer, and eventually into Norton Fitzwarren and Taunton.
The team will do its best to get the work completed as quickly and painlessly as possible – please do liaise with them if you are a resident and need to raise any issues around access.
We are extremely grateful to residents for their support and understanding while this work is done.
If you spot a problem on the road you can report it quickly and easily via the Council’s Report a problem on the road webpage.
