A ROAD in Nailsea is set to close this June to allow Wales & West Utilities to lay a new service.

The temporary closure on West End Lane, from the junction of Leighwood Drive to outside property Sweetbriar, will become operative on June 10.

A public notice from North Somerset Council reads: "Notice is hereby given that North Somerset Council in pursuance of the provisions of section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, as amended, have made an order the effect of which will be to close, temporarily, to vehicles the lengths of roads specified in the Schedule to this Notice.

"Exemptions are included for emergency services, works access, works vehicles, and as works permit for premises which may only be accessed via the closed section of road.

"This order was required because of the likelihood of danger to the public consequent upon work by Wales & West Utilities to lay new service. This will become operative on June 10 2024 for a maximum period of eighteen months. However, the closures may not be implemented for the whole of the period but only as necessitated by the works which is anticipated to be of four days in duration.

"Appropriate traffic signs will be displayed when the measures are in force."
