SWANLOW Lane will be closed for two periods next week, with a large diversion in place, going through Crewe, Nantwich, Tarporley and Little Budworth.

The road closure, near Weaver Methodist Church in Darnhall, will be in place on Monday, February 27, through the night from 7pm to 6am, and will be in place again on Thursday, March 2, but the times for this date are not yet confirmed.

The roadworks, which include carriageway patching and surface dressing, are being carried out by Cheshire West and Chester Council.

Carlisle Close, near St John the Evangelist Church, will also be closed for four days the week after, from Monday, March 6, reopening on Friday, March 10.

These roadworks are also carried out by the council and are described as ‘footway slurry sealing’.
