Roadworks in Cannock

Staffordshire County Council is undertaking carriageway resurfacing and associated highway improvements on the D4324 Poplar Lane in Cannock, from the junction with Hatton Road to Squirrels Rest. The scheme includes:

• Cutting back overhanging tree canopies

No specific cost has been published for this scheme.

• Carriageway resurfacing: Thursday 19 March–Friday 27 March 2026, 24-hour road closures, Monday to Friday

How long will the works take?

The overall programme will last approximately 15 working days within the period 9–27 March 2026

Will I be able to access my home/business?

  • Minor works: daytime closures only
  • Resurfacing: 24‑hour closures for safety and equipment access

What effect could the works have on me?
