Today we were cutting 300m of various overhanging trees back over the main road in Westbury and will continue for the rest of the week.

The work needs “stop and go” boards for traffic control.  Because the Conservation Contractors team are qualified to  “Chapter 8” requirements, they are able to manage the traffic control in-house.

The Department for Transport has a comprehensive guide for traffic signs and management. Chapter 8 of this guide is called ‘Traffic Safety Measures and Signs for Road Works and Temporary Situations’. This is commonly referred to as the “Chapter 8 guidelines”.
