"UNAVOIDABLE" emergency repair work will mean a North Ascot road will be closed indefinitely from Monday. 

Fernbank Road will close from 9.30am on Monday February 8 so Thames Water can deal with subsidence in the road which will need thorough investigation to find the cause.

The extent of the work means a full road closure has to be implemented from the Audley Way junction to the LVS Ascot rear entrance.

It is not yet clear how long the closure will be in place for as the timescale cannot be decided until the work begins, though Thames Water have estimated it could last for up to six weeks. 

Diversions will be in place following the same route as the current Priory Road closure.

Bracknell Forest Council’s Highway Network team is working on signal timings in the area to manage traffic as efficiently as possible.

For any queries or concerns relating to the work, call Thames Water customer services on 0800 316 9800.
