Highway Works

Highway works will be starting the week commencing Monday 5 th February to install a new zebra crossing on Rectory Lane near Friars Keep.

The works will take about 3 weeks and will be undertaken during off peak times from 9:30am to 3:30pm. During these times there will be temporary 2-way traffic lights to allow space for the workforce to work safely. A footway will always remain open on one side of the road for pedestrians to use.

Towards the end of the works, they will need to close the road on 4 days between 09:30am and 3:30pm to resurface the road through the crossing area between Friars Keep and Chadwick Mews. This is currently planned for Monday 12th to Thursday 15th February, weather permitting. During the closures vehicle access to the main school entrance on Rectory Road will be maintained. Pedestrian access will be retained at all times. The road closures are scheduled during the half term break so we hope it will minimise disruption to school activities.

Due to elements of the activities being weather dependent, there is a risk the work could be postponed at short notice, so please take note of the dates on the advance warning signs and on our webpage link at https://www.bracknell-forest.gov.uk/renewing-surfaces as these will be updated if any changes occur.

The crossing is being installed to provide a safer crossing point for students travelling to and from Brakenhale School following concerns from the community about the safety of children crossing Rectory Lane.
