Fleggburgh Parish Council

Works will start on Monday 29 January 2024 to install a new zebra crossing and provide footpath improvements outside Fleggburgh village hall. There will also be road resurfacing from the junction between Main Road and Marsh Road to the junction between Main Road and Rugg’s Lane. In total, works are expected to take 7 weeks to complete, weather permitting.
The new crossing is designed to help make active travel easier and safer in the area, particularly near the local school.

To ensure the works are carried out safely, a full road closure will be required at times – with a fully signed diversion route in place when needed. During the February half term holidays (19/02/2024 – 25/02/2024) there will be a full road closure outside Fleggburgh Village Hall from 7 am – 5 pm. From 4 March, lasting for 2 weeks, there will be a full road closure between the hours of 7 pm – 5 am to enable road resurfacing.

When a full road closure is not in place temporary traffic lights will be in place to help vehicles move safely past the works. Vehicular and pedestrian access to properties will be maintained at all times – however there may be some short delays for vehicles at times when work is taking place in front of properties. Temporary pedestrian paths will be provided and bus operators will be informed so necessary changes to stops or routes can be planned.
