Notice of temporary traffic lights on Eccleshall Road, Stone

What we are doing

At Micklow House Farm to the north of Eccleshall Road and the east of the M6, 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 Eccleshall Road by laying track mats on the entrance to the road. This is so we can safely bring large equipment on to the land to install a temporary bridge over a deep ditch. To do this safely, we will put temporary two-way traffic lights in place along Eccleshall Road.

We will use a lorry-mounted crane to lay the track mats, which will generate some low-level noise. Once we’ve made the improvements to the existing entrance, we will begin the installation of the temporary bridge. Once the bridge is in place, we will fence off the area where we will construct the ponds. The pond work will be ongoing throughout the rest of the year. We will write to you ahead of starting this work.

When the work take place?

The lights will be in place during the day from 9am to 5pm on Tuesday 3 and Wednesday 4 May.
