When we're working on your roads

Residents - what you need to know when we are working on your road

If you live on a road where we are carrying out resurfacing or surface dressing, you should receive a letter prior to the works taking place. The letter will inform you about what precautions you should take.

Signs will provide information about the date and time of work. When we put the 'No Parking' signs and cones out. You will be able to return your vehicle outside our working hours, but we need the road to be clear whilst we are working on the highway.

If your vehicle is left on the road

We will try to contact you first, but if we are unable to contact you and the vehicle has to be towed away, unfortunately this may be at your cost.

Your safety

There will be 'speed reduction' signs in place for the duration of the work and until the final sweep has taken place. We advise that you keep to the indicated speed limit until the signs are removed.

Keep window and dust closed. Our works may create dust.

Keep children and pets away from the working area for their safety. 

Take precautions around bitumen

Check your shoes for bitumen before entering your car or home and take off your shoes at home if necessary.

If you get bitumen on your clothes or shoes, it can be removed with a proprietary cleaner.

In the case of business premises, we are obliged to maintain access, but as there are no practical ways in which we can cover the treated surfaces and cannot prevent people from walking on them, we suggest you place a temporary covering inside your premises.
