Walsall Council have put out a notice under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 to let the public know that Stringes Lane in Willenhall is set to be closed between Gough Street and St Annes Road while maintenance works take place.

The works are expected to start take place between 7.30pm and 6am from Monday, October 16 to Saturday, October 21.

Diversions will be posted, with a route running via Stringes Lane, Charles Street, Ashmore Lake Way, Ashmore Lake Road, Monmer Lane and St Annes Road in both directions.

A spokesman for the Council said: "This order will come into operation on Monday, October 16 and will remain in force for a period of eighteen months or until the work is completed, whichever is earlier.

"The prohibition of traffic is appropriate to ensure that a contractor working on behalf of Walsall Council can undertake highway maintenance work in a manner that enhances the safety of both workforce and travelling public."
