Part of Church Road in Terrington St John will be closed for one day while tree maintenance works take place

A road will be closed off while essential tree maintenance works are taking place.

The maintenance is planned to be carried out on Church Road in Terrington St John next Thursday, April 25.

The work will be carried out between 9am and 3pm, and is expected to take one day to complete, weather permitting.

Due to the nature of the work the road will need to be closed from the junction of Old Church Road to The Grange and Stud Farm.

No access to through traffic between these junctions will be available during the time the works are being carried out.

The work is necessary as the trees have been confirmed by Norfolk County Council’s arboricultural team as diseased and dying and posing a risk to highway users.

They will therefore need to be removed to ensure the road can continue to be used safely. The hedge, undergrowth, and other trees close by will be unaffected.

Detailed surveys will be carried out to ensure nesting birds are not disturbed. The work will be carried out at a later date if necessary.

There will be a fully signed diversion route in place while the work is underway.

The county council has thanked people for their patience while this work is carried out.
