ROAD users in Radstock are encouraged to plan their journeys as essential sewer repairs are set to take place during the summer holidays.

A short section of the A367 Wells Road near the centre of the town will be closed to through traffic for two weeks from Monday, August 4, while work is carried out between the junction with The Street and the junction with the private road leading to 12-20 Wells Road.

A diversion using the A362, A37, and the A367 will be in place, with the project due for completion by Friday, August 15.

A Wessex Water spokesperson said: “Road closures are always a last resort but, in this case, necessary to allow to maintain the safety both of our working team and the public while it is completed.”
