A road near Stocksfield is set for closure as planned works get underway.

The order for the B6309 Whittonstall Village to Hindley is set to begin today, Thursday, March 26.

Northumberland County Council has announced the planned shutdown, which is set to result in a 1,900-metre stretch northwest from its junction with Whittonstall Village to Hindley to be rendered off-limits to vehicles.

Traffic is set to be affected from March 26 to March 30, between the hours of 8am and 5pm during that period.

Alternate routes have been arranged via B6309, C273, A68, B6278, A691, and A694. 

Officials say all diversions will be signposted, and potential changes will be communicated.

An official notice states: "To minimise future disruptions, other contractors may be undertaking works throughout the duration of this order."

For inquiries, Northumberland County Council's contact centre can be reached on 0345 600 6400. 

Use the reference number 148484115.
