The Greenway will remain open throughout the construction period, although its width will be temporarily reduced in the area where work is taking place.

Construction warning signs will be in place, and cyclists and walkers are being asked to take care when passing through the works area.

The council has apologised for any inconvenience caused and thanked Greenway users for their cooperation while the replacement platform is being installed.
