Night closures have been announced for the Birmingham Road in Hatton as council contractors continue with works in the village centre.

The busy road will close from 6.30pm to 6am every night between Wednesday 23 October until Saturday 2 November (into the early hours of Sunday 3 November).

This will allow the road to be resurfaced.

Footway and cycleway works will be done under two way traffic management the following week, allowing the road to reopen to traffic. 

Warwickshire County Council (WCC) said the loudest works will be completed before 11pm.

The update followed a meeting between the local authority and residents on the Union View development - the Taylor Wimpey housing estate which has necessitated all the roadworks in Hatton.

A council spokesperson said: "We welcomed a strong attendance of around 30 residents and hope that we were able to give some reassurances – particularly around access to emergency services vehicles. 

"Where the work and subsequent road closures are essential, we understand residents' frustration and explained the need for closures and gave reassurances that we will lift them as soon as possible." 

WCC will continue to monitor the four-way traffic management system currently in place until it ends next Friday (October 25).
