“Our contractor will try to minimise disruption as much as possible and we apologise for any inconvenience.

“Where practical, the removal teams will take the opportunity to carry out any minor, unrelated work that needs doing on the highway, such as the removal of vegetation and repair of small cracks in the carriageway surface.

“This could prevent the need for future traffic management and additional inconvenience.”
