As part of ongoing work at Sizewell C and the surrounding infrastructure, a new temporary road is being built.

The temporary road is being built between Lover's Lane and Abbey Road, as part of the installation of a new level crossing.

This will start on Monday, October 6, as Sizewell C begins to reopen the realigned Lover's Lane- Abbey Road junction.

Sizewell C has said that during rush hour there will be traffic marshals in place while the new layout is embedded.

Residents in Middleton have been demonstrating as Sizewell C looks to fell historic oaks as part of the construction of a 6.5km relief road connecting B1122 to the A12.

It was recently revealed that up to eight oaks could be taken down as part of the construction.

The residents are also concerned that roads in the area will be used as rat runs for Sizewell traffic.
