When they use the word "full", does that include pedestrian access for people from the Saltings/Lodgefield park? I suppose they could go along the towpath to the Fairview Way canal bridge, or the pedestrian bridge could still be avaialable...

Are the business between the railway (Jewson's, etc.) and the canal going to have any means of having large deliveries/dispatches catered for, if HGVs can't access them?

The works only refer to the road surface so guessing the the path will be open, trying to get confirmation. Network Rail.
Also trying to get confirmation re Tilcon ave. Highways.

Jewson and Breedon would both be massively affected by a full closure, with no heavy access from the other direction.

If only there had been some sort of nearby canal system that could have facilitated heavy loads into to the town centre.

I suspect that "full road closure" means that nothng/no-one will be allowed on it except for the men involved in the work & the equipment.

There is an element of ambiguity here, as the footbridge is a separate structure. Some of us will remember the excitement of trying to walk over that bridge, before the footbridge was built, it could be nearly as exciting as the river bridge near the first Aldi used to be.

Can't find it on-line now, but last nights Express and Star had a rather misleading report.
Makes it sound as though the Titanic pub is going on the same site as the old Lynton Tavern, rather than in a different premises across the road (the old Co-op)

reading.....

'Pub will return to former glory'
A pub which was pulled down to make way for supermarket is set to be restored to its former glory. Residents of Weeping Cross are said to be 'delighted' to welcome back a pub, which will also be a cafe, after Lynton Tavern was replaced by a Co-op.
Directors of Titanic Brewery David Bott,59, and Keith Bott,51, grew up in Stafford and remembered when it was Lynton Tavern. The pub closed at the end of 2009 and was turned into a meeting room before the Co-op was given the green light in 2014 and it opened two years later....'
