Mill Road in Bergh Apton will be closed near its junction with the A146, from 28th July to 1st August 2025, to carry out sewer and water connection works.
From the official notice: …affecting the C375 Mill Road from 135m southwest of its junction with A146 Loddon Road for 65m south westwards (the “Road”) in the Parish of Bergh Apton to facilitate new sewer and water connection works, the Road will be temporarily closed (except for pedestrian access) for the duration of the works/period the closure is necessary which is anticipated to be from 28th July to 1st August 2025, but may continue to be closed/restricted until the 12th September 2025 where the closure is still required beyond the anticipated dates.
Alternative route is via: Mill Road,A146 Loddon Road, A146 Hellington Corner, A146 Norwich Road, The Street, Cookes Road, Threadneedle Street (Bergh Apton, Alpington, Hellington, Ashby St. Mary, Thurton, Holverston)…
From Monday 28th July for approximately 3 weeks, the play area and equipment will be closed whilst work is carried out to renew the perimeter fencing and re-configure and improve the pre-school (Cottontails) area.
The Parish Council understands that the play area is an important resource for our community and that they have to invest in the facilities to ensure they meet the required standards. They are starting with the pre-school area so that Cottontails can continue uninterrupted when they return after the summer break. This timing of the work is primarily for safety reasons and also as fair weather will be needed to lay the new surfacing.
There will be a contractor on site with plant and equipment (diggers etc) so for safety reasons the area will be enclosed with temporary fencing.
This is the first stage of a long-term project to rejuvenate the Play Area. The overall project costs are significant and we will have to do it in phases as and when we can afford it. This first phase is being paid for by the Parish Council’s Community Benefit Fund (money we receive annually from the existing solar farm).
Updates will be posted here and on the Alpington with Yelverton Parish Projects Facebook page
