A COUNTRYSIDE road in Halesowen is set to be closed later this month to allow resurfacing work to be carried out.

Motorists are being warned they will not be allowed to drive down Illey Lane between 9am and noon on Tuesday, August 29.

A diversion route will be in place taking traffic onto Kitwell Lane, Wood Lane, Woodgate Lane, Carters Lane, Manor Lane, Manor Way, Grange Hill and vice-versa.

A council spokesman access to the frontages during the closure will be “maintained where safe to do so”.
