Westleton

Local road improvements

• Activity: Road closures
• Start Date: 2nd November 2026
• End Date: 23rd December 2026

As part of the community road improvements scheme, in which we have closely consulted with your local parish council, I am writing to you to inform you of the need for temporary closures of roads in Westleton to facilitate improvement works including: Footway and pedestrian crossing improvements; Traffic calming measures; Road marking and village gateways; Landscaping; Parking restrictions; and reduced speed limit south of Westleton

The minor road closures, with their approximate dates, are as follows:

• The western end of Mill Street will be closed between 2 and 13 November. The diversion route is Mill Street, Baker’s Lane.
• The eastern end of The Hill will be closed between 9 and 25 November, followed by the southern end of Village Green (opp. Baker’s Lane) between 25 November and 18 December. The diversion route is Darsham Road.
• Yoxford Road (south side of triangle) will be closed between 10 and 25 November.

Traffic signals will also be required throughout the period 2 November – 14 December, with one set of lights in the southern part of the village and another set of lights in the north part of the village.

Following this, there will be controlled access through The Street (B1125) at nighttime (7pm to 5am) from 7pm 14 December to 5am 24 December and 7pm 4 January – 5am 9 January to enable white lining to take place. This will be signed as a closure, however residents and visitors will be able to access properties throughout. Please note that there is a separate closure of the B1125 south of Westleton from November to March 2027 operated by Essex and Suffolk Water, with access to the village maintained via the B1125 North and local roads to the west.

SZC have planned these works to avoid disruption as much as possible, but we are aware that there may be some disruption and inconvenience for you. We are sorry that this may affect your journey times and will be working hard to ensure the work happens as swiftly and efficiently as possible.
