What you need to know when we are working on your road

If you live on a road where we're planning to improve the surface you should receive a letter with the details, and advice on taking precautions.

We'll also put up signs about the date and time of the work, and 'no parking' signs to keep the road clear while we're working.

If your vehicle is left on the road

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

Your safety and property

There will be 'speed reduction' signs in place while work is ongoing. Some treatments involve rolling stone chippings into hot bitumen – in this case the signs will stay in place until any loose chippings have been swept up.

Keep window closed. Our work may create dust.

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

Take precautions around bitumen -check your shoes before entering your car or home.

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

If you run a business we suggest you place a temporary covering inside your premises. There is no practical way we can cover surfaces which have recently been treated, and we cannot prevent people from walking on them.
