THE A44 London Road in Moreton-in-Marsh is being resurfaced between the business park and Evenlode Road.

Work will take place between 7.30am to 5.30pm from October 5 to October 7.

Bob Skillern, local highways manager, said: “An official diversion is in place, which we appreciate is quite long but legally we must publicise an alternative route using equivalent A roads.

“We expect people living locally, driving cars and small vans will use other alternative routes they are aware of.

“I would like to thank residents for their patience during this time and apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

A council spokesman said letters have been sent out to residents and there is an electronic sign at the site.
