| Location of works: | Rolls Hill, Porchfield between approximately 40 metres east of Little Whitehouse Road and west of property Wilma | |
| Anticipated duration of works: | Start date: Monday 26th July 2021 | Duration: 3 day (we aim to work Monday – Friday only) |
| Traffic Restrictions | During the works, we will be using heavy machinery/equipment and materials that could damage your vehicle, making it unsuitable for vehicles to access the works area. The road will therefore be closed whilst these works are taking place and vehicle access will not be permitted, with the exception of emergency vehicles. Pedestrian footways will remain open.
For safety reasons it will be necessary to closure the remaining length of Rolls Hill, Porchfield during the works. Resident access for this section of the road will be maintained when safe to do so and therefore delays are likely. Access to Thorness Lane will be maintained via Little Whitehouse road. |

| Time of works and vehicle access to properties/businesses | Works will take place between the hours of 06:30 and 18:00, although exact start and finish times may vary. The area of work will be coned the night before the works and this indicates the start of the works the following day. When the cones are in place we ask you to kindly park your cars off street in preparation for the works the next day.
Residents may be permitted access before 07:30 and after 16:00, but only where safety permits. Please note this letter is not an access permit. |
