The numbering in Woodlands Road and Woodlands Close has been a cause of concern recently following an incident in which an emergency vehicle was called and the driver had difficulty in working out how to get to a property in the Close.

Nearby residents will be aware that nos. 33-39 Woodlands Road are accessed from Woodlands Close and that nos 33-39 Woodlands Close are at the far end of the close.

The Highways Technician will install two new signs at the top of the close saying “Woodlands Road leading to Woodlands Close” and two signs further down the close, where the numbering starts, saying “Woodlands Close”.  These will be temporary signs and the situation will be monitored to make sure there are no unanticipated consequences. 

Residents in Woodlands Close and Woodlands Road will shortly receive a letter from the City Council informing them of this
