Somerset County Gazette: It will last a full day in May

The main purpose of the closures is to allow National Grid to complete overhead reconductoring works, ensuring the continued efficient operation and safety of our electricity supply.

Works are expected to start and conclude on May 8, running from 8.30am until 5.30pm, totalling nine hours.

The Order is being enacted due to the planned roadworks and potential danger to both the public and the road if left unchecked.
