St John’s RC School on Gloucester Road, Kidsgrove (S278)
Staffordshire County Council is delivering highway improvements under S278 for St John’s RC School on Gloucester Road, Kidsgrove. This project, managed by Amey Transport Infrastructure, is funded by the Department for Education (DfE). It includes:
- New zebra crossings
- Speed cushions for traffic calming
- Parking area enhancements
- Resurfacing of the carriageway
When are the works taking place?
- Start date: Monday 5 January 2026
- Duration: Approximately 15 weeks
How long will the works take?
- Expected completion: April 2026
Will I be able to access my home/business?
- The road will be closed during carriageway resurfacing for public and workforce safety. Exact dates of closures will be confirmed nearer the time.
- Access to adjacent roads will be maintained for most residents. Delays should be expected during resurfacing phases.
- A signed diversion will be in place during closures; there will be no through traffic in the work area.
What effect could the works have on me?
- Temporary traffic signals will control flow throughout most of the works.
- A full road closure will be needed for surfacing and road markings, lasting around two weeks. This closure is planned during the school spring term holiday to reduce disruption.
