We have been notified by Shropshire Highways that on Tuesday 17th September and Wednesday 18th September the A53 from Epsley roundabout (school turn off) to Side Saddle Jct (Stanton) will be closed between 9.30am and 4pm. Please ensure that you find an alternative route if you usually use the A53 at the end of the school day. A diversion will be in place. There will likely be heavier traffic around school on these days as the published diversion is expected to take traffic up to the A41 at Tern Hill, then to the A49 through Prees, however traffic is highly likely to cut through Hodnet to get to the A49 as we have seen on a number of occasions. Please allow for extra time on journeys and be vigilant if walking or parking close to the main village road, we have experienced lorries and other unfamiliar traffic travelling at significant speed through the village during main road closures.
