The Isle of Wight Council is closing the road near Lynnbottom tip for part of next week, for works to trees.

The recycling centre will remain open and fully accessible, however. |

The council has been doing work to trees in many locations, including public parks and roadsides. Over three days, tree work is to be carried out to trim back or remove some potentially dangerous trees. It will see Briddlesford Road, between Lynnbottom recycling centre and the Robin Hill roundabout, shut between Wednesday (4) and Friday (6) inclusive. Full access for domestic and commercial users of the Lynnbottom recycling centre and Biffa’s Standen Heath landfill site will be maintained throughout, with diversion routes signed. Traffic will be able to approach the Lynnbottom recycling centre from the north, from the Wootton direction. To avoid queuing the council is requesting that users do not arrive before their booking slot. Lee Matthews, the council's public spaces manager, said: "We're conscious that this is a very important route so we will be ensuring that vehicle access to Lynnbottom is maintained throughout the works. "Because this work needs doing urgently, we're not going to wait until next winter. "This means that we will be doing a full check for nesting birds and other protected species such as bats and squirrels. "If it turns out there are protected species that might be adversely affected by the work of course we will not proceed. "The overall aims of this programme of tree works across the Island are to ensure that we have a safe and sustainable tree stock, and to support the council's climate and environment strategy. "We aim to finish up with many more trees growing safely on public land for future generations." As well as cutting back or removing trees that might pose a hazard in the future, new trees have recently been planted by contractors and volunteers in locations including Appley Park and Big Meade. |
