NOTICE OF THE CLOSURE OF C2161 SANDHILLS ROAD, BARNT GREEN, WORCESTERSHIRE (“THE HIGHWAY”)

Reason for restriction: Carriageway Resurfacing.  There is a need to close the highway in the following terms:- 

1. The effect of this Notice is that no vehicle shall proceed along that part of the highway from its junction with C2174 Hewell Road  to its junction with C21611 Sandhills Green.

2. This provision shall continue in force for a maximum of 5 days, however, it is anticipated that it will remain in force for 3 days commencing 7 March 2019. 

3. Alternative routes: – C2174 Hewell Road, Sandhills Lane and vice versa.

Nothing in this Notice shall prevent at any time access for pedestrians to any premises situated on or adjacent to the highway, or to any other premises accessible for pedestrians from and only from the highway.

There are apologies all round from me and Bromsgrove District Council for the misleading information circulated yesterday.  The original email should have said the bin collectors were only going to visit specific sites in Barnt Green.  These have now been visited as advised by an email received earlier today:

The following roads  have now been  recollected Thursday 3nd  (GREY BINS)

• Greenbank
• Poplar Drive
• Orchard Croft
• Victoria Mews
• Penzer Drive

Please note the green bins will still be collected on this Saturday, so have them out by 7am.  The usual grey bin collection will resume on Tuesday 8th January and every other week after that, alternating with the green bin collections.

More information is available from Bromsgrove District Council:

https://www.bromsgrove.gov.uk/my-place/bins-and-recycling/when-is-my-bin-collection-day.aspx

So, just to sum up, Bromsgrove DC have confirmed they will not be coming round later to collect any more grey bins today – next collection is Tuesday 8th Jan.

Brookhouse Road will be closed between Littleheath Lane and Pumphouse Lane for 3 days starting today 11th December.  Please follow the diversions: C2151 Brookhouse lane- RC-18-12-065

The work is to allow Severn Trent Water Ltd to carry out repairs to the water main.
