Road closures to support tree felling

There will be a series of forthcoming road closures around our Chipping Sodbury landholding to support the safe removal of trees with ash dieback disease.

This forms part of our licensed programme of tree-felling and the road closures, which have been approved by South Gloucestershire Council (SGC), will ensure our contractors can work safely and the public are protected.

The road closures cover:

Nighttime closures on Wickwar Road between 19:30 – 06.00 from Monday 17 and Tuesday 25 February.
The area affected extends from the junction with Peg Hill to the junctions with Bury Hill Lane and Mapleridge Lane.
