WELLINGTON’s High Street is set to be partially closed due to essential Wessex Water works in mid-May.

Wessex Water will be carrying out interim to permanent reinstatement works to the water supply network on Wellington’s High Street, B3187, on Monday, May 19.

This will involve closing the road to all through traffic for one night only from the junction with Buckwell to St John’s CofE Primary School between the hours of 7pm and 12am for five hours.

Alternative routes will be signposted, and pedestrian access will remain. Residents or business owners in need of specific access requirements should speak to the on-site Wessex Water team.

Water supply services will be operating as usual, unless individuals are otherwise notified.
