The new route of Newgate Lane South, from Collingwood to the Peel Common roundabout, is due to be opened on the weekend of April 7/8.

Newgate Lane residents will at last see an end to constant traffic past their doors, says Jim Forrest

Buses on the 21/21A route will use the new road from Monday, April 9. There will be several overnight closures of Newgate Lane during the rest of April to enable completion of the construction. These will involve diversions via Longfield Avenue, Mays Lane and Gosport Road. See full details here. http://tinyurl.com/y9pbay7o
