"Thank you for your enquiry.

 

We can confirm that our team have reviewed your enquiry regarding the scheduled road closure Ref: TTROW/14811 at the location reported on Helm Lane, Natland.

The team have advised that the works scheduled to take place from the 21st July – 1st August is to address the ongoing drainage issue which residents are experiencing at this location and works will be undertaken to access, replace or install new gullies where necessary and lay new drainage pipe at the junction of both Robbey Lea Drive and Abbey Drive.
