A VILLAGE road is set to close for nearly one week.

The Folley in Layer-de-la-Haye will be closing from its junction with High Road to its junction with Abberton Road.

The closure will commence on November 10, and will be in place for five days while carriageway patching works are undertaken by Essex County Council.

An alternative route is available via High Road, Malting Green Road, Abberton Road and vice versa.
