Notice of temporary traffic lights on Blithbury Road, Blithbury

What we are doing

At Stoneyford House Farm to the south of Blithbury Road and to the west of Blithbury, we will be creating ecological mitigation ponds surrounded by grassland and woodland habitat creation. We will use the ecological mitigation ponds to relocate any protected species, such as great crested newts before we need to remove any other habitats. Before we start to construct the ponds, we will improve the existing access off Blithbury Road by laying and compacting stone in the entrance right up to the road. This is so we can safely bring large equipment on to the land to carry out the pond work. To do this safely, we will put two-way traffic lights in place along Blithbury Road.

We will use a mechanical excavator and compaction plant to spread and compact the stone, which will generate some low-level noise. Once we complete the improvements to the existing entrance, we will begin work to excavate the ponds. This work will be ongoing throughout the rest of the year. We will write to you ahead of starting this work.

When the work will take place

These will be in place for four days from Tuesday 19 April to Friday 22 April and will be in place between 9am and 5pm each day.
