Surface dressing update for Wednesday July 4

Orkney Islands Council has reported a change to today’s surface dressing plans.

Instead of working in the Hurtiso area in Holm, where silage cutting is taking place, the team will be carrying out surface dressing instead in South Ronaldsay.

This will be 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.

The council has said there are no diversion routes in the area, but their team will make every effort to maintain access for vehicles. No bus services are affected.
