“We will make every effort to allow vehicle access to properties within the closed road, however there may be times when this is not possible or there may be delays,” the council spokesman said.
“You will receive help and guidance from the dedicated stewards on site. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.”
Nearby Bringsty Vintage Café wrote in a Facebook post that the business was “absolutely devastated” when the road closure was announced, adding that the closure comes in what should have been the business’s busiest month. Due to the construction work, the cafe will be closed between August 12 and 16 and between August 19 and 22.
