There are another two events to come this week - you can see details of the remaining borough-wide sessions here: orlo.uk/o7xIc Have your say and get involved: orlo.uk/7D7Za

This Wednesday we’ll be hosting another Information Drop-In session in the borough, at Stockroom: Stockroom Wednesday 10 December 11:00am – 7:00pm Drop in any time to speak with our team, and find out how to get involved in the consultation before it closes on 21 December.

We’re currently consulting on the draft Local Plan, which will shape development across the borough up to 2042. The draft Plan proposes focusing most new development in the most sustainable locations - close to public transport, services, jobs and key infrastructure.

The temporary closure was caused by the impact of Storm Claudia, which created an unexpected blockage in the system and meant the road had to be closed for safety. Thanks again for bearing with us.

The A555 has been closed and will remain closed overnight, Tuesday. We believe that damage caused by Storm Claudia, including tree fall, has resulted in a water channel being diverted, causing the road to flood. We're looking into this, and we will provide a further update tomorrow, Wednesday.

Carrington Road in Portwood is currently closed due to a sinkhole. An emergency response team is on the way to carry out an inspection, and GMP has closed the road for safety. Google Maps and Waze are showing the closure, but please avoid the area where possible. Further updates will follow.
