For your awareness, we are planning to carry out drainage improvement works along The Street, Coney Weston.
The works are programmed to take place from Monday 4 November until Friday 29 November. During this time, the road will be closed at all times to ensure the safety of highway users and our operatives.
For the duration of the closure, traffic will be diverted via Thetford Road, Coney Weston Road, Church Road, Hopton Road, Hollow Lane, Fenn Street & vice versa.
To enable us to carry works out as planned, we ask that local road users please move their vehicles from the area highlighted by 'no parking' cones.
As we plan roadworks in advance, we schedule extra days to allow for bad weather or other delays beyond our control. If we need to make major changes to our work dates, we will update the information signs on site and our social media channels accordingly.
A plan showing the diversion route for these works is attached to this email. When we close the road and put a diversion in place, the route needs to be accessible to vehicles of all shapes and sizes. We make our diversions as clear as possible by placing appropriate signing along the route. The latest updates on our works can be found on the One.Network website.
There may be times that essential emergency works are required to take place on the highway network without advanced notice – you can follow Suffolk Highways on Facebook for the latest emergency roadwork updates.
If you have any queries on the above, please contact us on 0345 606 6171.

The 70, 70A and 73 replaced 304, 337 and 338 because the prior routes were not carrying enough
passengers to cover their costs. Following the changes made by Simonds of Botesdale to their local bus
network from September 2024, a further timetable change is being implemented from Monday 30th
September 2024. This is intended to improve punctuality and reliability along all routes, and introduce
additional capacity at school times. We are grateful for Suffolk County Council’s support in enabling these
changes.

Have you been impacted by changes to your bus services? This has affected a number of Suffolk villages with proposals which reduced bus services or in some villages cancelled them completely. When Vectare, the new owner of Simonds buses took steps to cancel loss making routes some villages, such as Bardwell, were suddenly without any bus service.
