Surface dressing update for Thursday July 5

Orkney Islands Council’s roads surface dressing will continue today, Thursday July 5, in South Ronaldsay, on two stretches of the road from St Margaret’s Hope to Hoxa.

The first is from the 30mph sign on the outskirts of the Hope to Rose Cottage. The other is from Roeberry House to the Uppertown Road.

Once this is completed, the council’s team will move to a small side road around half a mile from the Hope. Surface dressing will take place between Brandyquoy and the Old Schoolhouse.

The council has said there are no diversion routes for the work taking place on Thursday, but the team will make every effort to maintain access for vehicles. No bus services are affected.
