FROM this week Desborough Road will be closed to through traffic for a month. Works carried out include a sewer connection.

It is part of work at the British Gas site on the south side of Desborough Road and is not related to the town centre redevelopment scheme.

Meanwhile, Transco is linking a new pipe in Mendy Street with an existing pipe on the south side of Desborough Road. Traffic diversions will be in place, but signposted.

BT has completed work in Desborough Road's footpath.

Scottish and Southern will this week complete the cable laying in Desborough Road and Lilys Walk; the work involves closing one lane to traffic.

Work by Transco will continue in the pedestrian area next to Tesco.
