The Order is necessary by reason of danger to the public due to works on and next to the path. It will be in operation from 20 March 2023 until 12 May 2023 or until completion of the works, if earlier, and while the relevant notices are displayed. The Secretary of State for Transport can extend that period if required.

The temporary closure will only be in operation when appropriate road traffic signs are displayed on site by the County Council or an authorised person acting on its behalf. Access to properties will not be affected.

There are no alternative routes.
