I have just been passed the following message from Street Force about upcoming resurfacing work on Taplin Road - this will involve some temporary road closures:

Street Force will shortly be carrying out carriageway resurfacing work on Taplin Road , Beechwood Road and Haden Street

To carry out the works safely and as quickly as possible it will be necessary to implement various traffic management arrangements that will include road closures.

Work will be undertaken in stages to minimise disruption and will be carried out in the following sequence.

Sunday 16th August: Taplin Road closed from Middlewood Road to Hawthorne Road.

Monday 17th August: Taplin Road closed from Hawthorne road to Oakland Road.

Tuesday 18th August: Beechwood Road closed from Holme lane to Hunter Road and Haden street from Taplin Road to Holme Lane

Wednesday 19th August: Taplin Road closed from Hawthorne road to Oakland Road

Thursday 20th August: Beechwood Road closed from Holme lane to Hunter Road and Haden street from Holme Lane to Taplin Road

We would also appreciate your assistance in ensuring that any vehicles that are usually parked on the road at these locations are parked elsewhere during these times.

Hopefully this work will be carried out without too much disruption and it will make Taplin Road safer for drivers and pedestrians. However, if you are having any problems with any of this work, please use my contact form to let me know about it.
