Plans to close the A38 through Highbridge for up to three days later this month for essential roadworks have been postponed by Somerset Council.
Somerset Council’s highways department had announced that Bristol Water will be closing Church Street from Tuesday 20th May for three days until Thursday 22nd May.
Burnham-On-Sea.com reported here that Somerset Council had announced that Bristol Water would be closing Church Street 24 hours a day from Tuesday 20th May for three days until Thursday 22nd May for water connections work.
After reading the report, nearby business Sopha in Church Street lodged a formal challenge to the council based on the lack of prior notice, and a number of concerns and technicalities. MP Ashley Fox also wrote to the council with his concerns.
The closure would have been in place 24-hours a day during the work, with traffic diverted along alternative routes.
