Work will start on Wednesday 12th October, and completed by Tuesday 18th October.

A spokesman said: "We've taken the opportunity to do this work when the schools are off, when traffic is reduced. Road closures are being arranged and traffic management options discussed with the aim of minimising disruption. We will advise local residents and businesses of the full details of the temporary traffic management arrangement as soon as we can.

"Disruption is unavoidable and we seek the cooperation of local residents and business people to find alternative parking as the work progresses. To minimise disruption we would ask that wherever possible, drivers who use these roads find an alternative route during the work."
