A MAIN road in Owslebury will be closed as vital road works are carried out to improve communications in the village.

Contractors for BT Openreach, CCN communications, will be carrying out essential repairs on an underground duct at Whaddon Lane.

The road will be closed at the junction with Whites Hill to Great Coney Park from April 23 for approximately two weeks.
