What we are doing
As part of our early environmental works, we are undertaking ecological surveys and roadside hedgerow maintenance on Yarnfield Lane. These works are required to maintain safe line of sight for road traffic.
Balfour Beatty will be using tractor and hedgerow flail as well as manual working near any sensitive ecological receptors.
This will form part of regular hedgerow maintenance within the wider area.
We will need to install temporary two-way traffic lights on Yarnfield Lane at Stone, to manage the safe movement of the vehicles and people needed to carry out the hedgerow maintenance.

We will put the traffic lights in place from Monday 31 July to Friday 04 August 2023 9am-5pm
What to expect
The equipment we use may generate some low-level noise, we will be switching off engines when not in use and working during the day to minimise disruption to local residents. We will ensure the traffic lights are only in operation during period when work is been undertaken to minimise disturbance.
