- PROPOSED TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF C69, LEIGH
PROPOSED TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF C69, LEIGH
I have received an application from Openreach to close C69, LEIGH between its junction with Bailey Ridge Lane and Totnell House, a distance of approximately 1370 metres. The closure has been requested to allow Openreach to replace a pole. These works are programmed to commence between 0800 and 1800 from 17 July 2026 until 21 July 2026.
Openreach will publicise the road closure in a number of ways: they will place information boards on the road in this area to inform the travelling public of the works; they will carry out a letter drop to local residents directly affected by the works; and they will sign a vehicular diversion route using the local road network. The following map shows the extent of the closure and the diversion route.For additional information and details of the proposed diversion, click the image below
