Kirklees Council has highlighted a new website residents can use to view upcoming planned roadworks.

The council is currently carrying out many roadworks across the region to ensure the safety and convenience of commuters using various modes of transport.

While the works can be frustrating, the council has stressed that they are necessary to maintain and improve road conditions.

Roadworks may be conducted for various reasons, such as resurfacing, repairs, and improving layouts or replacing traffic signage and markings.

The council also supports other organisations, such as utilities companies and developers, to carry out their essential works, which may require changes to road access.

Occasionally, the council may close a road or lane due to unsafe conditions for vehicles or pedestrians.

The council aims to work quickly and quietly, as long as it is safe to do so, to minimise disruption to travellers and neighbouring properties.

The council says they appreciate residents’ patience and understanding while the roadworks occur, as they work to keep the community safe and connected.
