A town road is set to close for several weeks while essential roadworks are carried out. 

Works to reconstruct the pavement on Folly Road near Wymondham High School will begin on July 29. 

Weather permitting, the work will be carried out over six weeks and will involve full reconstruction of the footway with new kerbs, edgings and a new asphalt surface.

To carry out the works safely, a temporary phased road closure will be in place along the road, from the junction with Norwich Road to the junction with Clere Close.

While pedestrian access to homes and businesses will be maintained, there may be occasions where vehicle access to driveways is restricted.

Workers will be on-site to manage any access and parking issues in relation to the work.

A spokesman for Norfolk County Council said: "The county council thanks people for their patience while this essential pavement improvement work is carried out."

The work, which is expected to cost £114,000, will be carried out by Norfolk County Council’s Community and Environmental Services Department and their contractors.
