"The work is being done overnight to avoid a very disruptive daytime road closure.

"We recognise the disruption these works may cause to residents in the immediate area and will do everything we can to minimise noise levels.

"However, the work will involve activities such as road planing and sweeping, therefore it is unavoidable that there will be some noise from the machinery used.
