During ConstructionAs with any large infrastructure project, there may be some short term impact on and inconvenience to people. For example, this could include construction traffic bringing materials on to the site, some noise as works progress, or some night/weekend working.

Disruption will be kept to a minimum as much as possible during both the delivery works and during general works. Advance warning will be given where possible so that people know what to expect and when. Information will also be regularly posted on our website or Tweeted.
