Upton-upon-Severn - High Street & Old Street improvement works

As a result of the current flooding problems we have re-scheduled our works programme so as not to affect the diversion that is in place through the centre of Upton-Upon-Severn whilst the Hanley Road is closed due to flooding.

Some localised footway and drainage work will be carried out to the end of the week but none of the work will involve temporary traffic lights or closure of the road.

We are monitoring river levels and will continue to update this blog on a daily basis and will provide information as soon as we can so please visit daily for up to date information.
