I am delighted to inform you that much needed highway improvements will be taking place on Acre Street Lindley.

To carry out the resurfacing safely, Highways will be working under road closures during the working week between 7pm and 11pm. This work is expected to start from 26 September 2011 for the approximate period of 3 weeks (18.30-23.00 only).

Road closures – Acre Street/Lidget Street, Lindley
j/o A640 New Hey Road to j/o East Street

The diversionary routes will be:- 1. A640 New Hey Road, Thornhill Road, A629 Halifax Road, East Street and vice versa. 2. A640 New Hey Road, Moor Hill Road, Cowrakes Road, West Street and vice versa.
The extent of this improvement work means that disruption is unavoidable but we may be able to help with problems such as access, mobility or any deliveries you may be expecting. Please also tell us about any known problems with recurring drainage blockages or standing water on the road.

The Council has served a Section 58 notice to restrict future work from being carried out in Acre Street. In this case, the restriction is for five years after the resurfacing work has been completed. This means that the resurfaced area cannot be dug-up again within this period, apart from new connections for utilities supplies; emergency or urgent works; works for health or safety reasons; or where the council gives its consent.
