A SERIES of road closures will be taking place overnight in Church.

From Monday, April 24, until Friday, May 5, roads from Dunkenhalgh Way to Henry Street and Manor Place will be closed for 150 metres.

Hyndburn Road will also be closed from its junction with Manor Place for 150 metres.

The closures will take place from 9pm until 6am each day.

Diversions will be in place directing people away from the roads.

County Councillor for Oswaldtwistle Peter Britcliffe said: “I welcome the fact that this is being carried out overnight, there is enough chaos around Dunkenhalgh Way with the work that is going on during the day.”

The work is being carried out by the highways team at Lancashire County Council.

A spokesman said: “The temporary prohibition is necessary to allow carriageway resurfacing.”
