Carolyn Walton, Calderdale Council’s highways and engineering manager, said: “Works will involve resurfacing, new markings and new ironwork.

“This will improve road safety and provide smoother roads to travel on.

“The use of up to date surfacing materials will help make the roads more durable and reduce noise from travelling vehicles.

“To allow the works to take place safely and effectively, temporary road closures will be in place.

“As we are still planning the works with our contractor, the exact timings will be confirmed at a later date.

“We will be liaising with residents and businesses throughout the works.

“If anyone has any concerns about access requirements or any other issues, they can contact us on 01422 288001.”
