Shatcombe Lane Closure for Fibre Installation

Shatcombe Lane in West Compton will be closed from October 6 to October 10, 2025, to facilitate fibre cable installation by Wessex Internet.

Wessex Internet plans to inform the public through information boards and a letter drop to local residents. A diversion route will guide motorists through Wynford Eagle onto Spyway Road.

A229 Roadworks in Kent

Kent County Council has announced that parts of the A229 at Blue Bell Hill will undergo roadworks over a 12-week period, primarily at night, to minimize disruption. The works, which began on September 16, 2025, are part of a £250 million upgrade aimed at improving congestion and road safety between the M2 and M20. Full road closures will occur at night on the Maidstone-bound slip road to Rochester Road/Lower Bell, with lane closures on other routes.

Six-Month Roadworks in Skegness

In Skegness, Lincolnshire County Council has initiated a six-month programme of roadworks, including resurfacing and utility works, expected to conclude in March 2026. Councillor Jimmy Brookes emphasized the importance of these works for improving local infrastructure, despite anticipated traffic disruptions.

Gas Pipe Replacement in Humberston

Starting November 3, 2025, Network Plus will replace over 1,300 yards (1.2 km) of gas pipes along Grimsby Road, Wilton Road, and Jackson Place in Humberston.

Signed diversion routes will be provided where applicable.

Bridge Maintenance on the M6

National Highways has revised its plan for bridge maintenance on the M6 in Cumbria, opting to keep Lawtland House Bridge open during the ongoing works. This decision follows community concerns about potential disruptions. The main construction phase for the remaining bridges is set to begin in spring 2027.

Road Resurfacing in Broomfleet

Common Road in Broomfleet will be closed for three weeks starting October 6, 2025, for resurfacing and structural work by East Riding of Yorkshire Council. The project, costing £190,000, will maintain access for residents during construction.
