Written on 08 June 2026.

{Play}11 to 26 June (week nights only) 7pm to midnight

From the top of Herd Street (junction with The Common) to Wye House and New Road.

Contractors for Wiltshire Council have advised us that:

These works involve repairs to the existing carriageway, the installation of new road markings and the adjustment of surface ironwork.

The works will commence on Thursday 11 June 2026 and will be completed by Friday 26 June 2026 between the hours of 19:00 and 00:00, no weekend working, however, on occasions they may over run due to uncontrollable circumstances such as plant breakdowns, if weather conditions are unfavourable, or occasionally we discover the need for additional repairs once the work has started. The road will be open as normal outside of these hours.

Due to the nature of the works and the local environment, the works will be carried out within a temporary road closure, to ensure that adequate health & safety is maintained for the contractor & local residents.

Road markings and ironwork adjustments may need to be completed at a later date.

There will be points throughout the works period where vehicular access will not be possible as plant may be obstructing the road or material may be newly laid which you will not be able to drive over, as early trafficking could lead to premature failure. If works are being undertaken in the vicinity of your property; I would suggest speaking to the workforce in advance to ask if there will be any restrictions with regards to access.

The Contractor will maintain pedestrian access for residents for the duration of the works; when leaving your property in your vehicle, please allow extra time for any possible delays and when returning to your property, there will be traffic management operatives located at the extents of the works, speak to them, explain where you live, and they will be able to assist.

Signing will be in place advising that local businesses will be open as usual. A letter drop will be undertaken to all the residents located within the site extents on the week commencing 1st June 2026.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for any inconvenience these works will cause but trust you will appreciate the necessity for these essential works to maintain Wiltshire's highway network. Should you require any further information in advance of the works please do not hesitate to contact me on the details shown below. If you wish to discuss the works whilst they are in operation, please speak to a member of the workforce who will direct you to the appropriate person.

For further information please contact Wiltshire Council on 0300 456 0105.
