We will be carrying out highway improvements on Bakers Lane / Cottis Lane. Works will involve reconstructing the carriageway and realigning the footways.
In order to carry out activities in a safe manner, the work will be carried out in phases, with road closures required according to the works.

Resident access to Albany Court will be maintained, but the access point will be relocated from Lincolns Field to St Johns Road. Please refer to on‑site signage for the most up‑to‑date information, as dates are subject to change.
During the closures, a signed diversion route will be in place using the following roads: St John’s Road, Coronation Hill and Lincolns Field.
