BCP Council said they have arranged for the work to be completed during the school half term break and have asked South West Water to complete other related work during the same period to “avoid disruption”.

Motorists are being diverted along Alder Road, up to the Wallisdown roundabout and towards the Moutbatten Roundabout.
