Public notices: drivers warned over road closures around Cookham and Holyport

This week’s public notices feature looming road closures around Cookham, Holyport and Waltham St Lawrence.

Planning applications have also been submitted to make further renovations to the 15th century Ockwells Manor in Cox Green.

Traffic:

The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead has advised part of Long Lane in Cookham will be closed during the day from Monday.

The road will be closed from its junction with Cannondown Road, westward for around 30 metres, to allow a new power connection to be installed.

The closure will take effect between the hours of 8am and 5pm, from Monday, November 25 till Friday, November 29.

Drivers are also set for disruption because of closure to a key road in Holyport in early December.

A330 Ascot Road will shut over the weekend, beginning at 8pm on Friday, December 6 until 6am on Monday, December 9.

It will be closed from the junction of Holyport Street to the junction with Bartletts Lane to allow work to replace the Holyport Culvert – a channel allowing water to flow under road.

In another closure, part of Milley Road in Waltham St Lawrence will also be inaccessible to traffic to allow work on a new power connection.

Milley Road will be closed from 1 Parker Cottages to Cherry Hill from midnight on Sunday, November 25 till midnight on Friday, 29 November.

Planning:

More refurbishment work is planned at one of Maidenhead’s iconic historic homes.

Ockwell’s Manor in Cox Green was built in the 1450s but the site dates back hundreds more years – to 1267.

Plans to restore the condition of the home to a ‘habitable condition’ were revealed in August.

Now more plans have been lodged including replacing doors to the ‘historic stable range’.
