Villagers warned of possible disruption due to cable-laying

Residents of Lee Mill in Devon are being warned of potential travel delays as a result of engineering work later this month.

A one-way system will be operating along Plymouth Road from the A38 east-bound slip road to the junction of New Park Road from Monday 21 October until Friday 29 November. There will be a diversion for west-bound traffic via the A38 and the Deep Lane junction.

Residents and businesses will still have access to properties and have been notified of the work by letter, as has the parish council.

The road closure is needed so engineers can relocate a substation for a new industrial connection project that requires 260 metres of new 11kV underground cable to be laid.

We have been liaising with the highways authority to minimise disruption while this necessary work is carried out and apologise for any inconvenience it causes.
