Flood alleviation work on Quorn Grove, Market Drayton

Flood alleviation work will be carried out on Quorn Grove, Market Drayton from 23 November to 18 December to improve highway drainage and help reduce the risk of flooding.

The work will be carried out under a road closure and will involve:

• Installation of three new soakaways within the carriageway
• Construction of new gullies
• New drainage connections to the existing system

These improvements form part of a flood alleviation scheme designed to improve surface water drainage in the area.

Due to the nature and location of the work within the carriageway, access restrictions will be in place throughout the work. Access for residents will be maintained wherever it is safe and practical to do so, however vehicle movements may need to be controlled and coordinated with the site team.

There may be periods when vehicle access cannot be provided safely while excavation works are taking place or new drainage infrastructure is being installed. Residents are therefore asked to allow additional time for journeys and follow any instructions provided by the on-site team

People are also asked to avoid parking on the road during the work. This will help us complete the works efficiently and reduce disruption.
