Road Closure – 11th March 2024

A sign has been erected by Anglian Water outside the school advising of a road closure. We have spoken with Anglian Water who have advised that this is for emergency repair works. This is a full road closure affecting the High Street and School Lane. It is emergency works to repair a leaking valve. As it is emergency works they automatically get a 5 day closure but having spoken to Anglian they hope it will only be a day. This cannot be guaranteed. The work is scheduled to start at 9am on Monday 11th March and will hopefully be finished by 3pm thus avoiding school drop off and pick up times. The school is going to inform parents through their media channels. Anglian are going to keep the school and ourselves updated.
