Work starts next week on a major highways improvement scheme in Kidsgrove 🚧
From Monday 13 July, we’ll begin a £700,000 project to improve traffic flow, make journeys safer and create a more accessible town centre.
The nine-week scheme, delivered with Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council through the Government’s Town Deal programme, will introduce two new one-way systems and deliver a range of improvements, including:
✅ Better traffic flow around Station Road, Meadows Road and Market Street
✅ New and improved pedestrian crossing facilities
✅ Upgraded signs, streetlights and road layouts
✅ Repairs to drainage and kerbs
✅ Improved parking and loading arrangements
These improvements are part of a wider programme to support the regeneration of Kidsgrove and help create a town centre that is easier and safer for people to visit, shop and travel around.
We know roadworks can cause disruption, and our teams will work hard to complete the scheme as quickly as possible.
Temporary traffic lights, lane closures and signed diversions will be in place where needed, while access to homes and businesses will be maintained wherever possible.
Thank you for your patience while we deliver these important improvements for Kidsgrove 👍
