A MAIN road through a local village will be closed tonight.

Hampshire County Council will be returning to Portsmouth Road, Fishers Pond to reinstate the road markings and reflective studs.

These works are currently programmed to be carried out tonight (May 10) and are expected to take one night to complete.

The road will be closed to through traffic from approximately 8pm to 6am.

A spokesperson said: "Whilst there is an allowance within the time periods shown above for delays, there may be times when we have to postpone works at very short notice; based on the latest weather forecasts, this can occur just prior to works commencing.

"We will always look to provide up to date information wherever we can, but sometimes these last minute decisions can be difficult to relay to the travelling public in a timely manner. When we can, any significant changes to the scheduled dates will be made clear on the yellow sign boards located at the works limits."
