Bridge checks at Oldfield Road
All areas: From road closures to planning applications, here’s what’s happening in your community
Each week, the Advertiser publishes public notices containing important information affecting the community you live in. These statutory notices help keep the wider public informed about key issues, from plans to develop a block of flats in your neighbourhood to an application by your local bar or pub to serve alcohol for longer. You can find out about traffic orders and road closures affecting your travel plans, and keep up to date with the latest changes proposed by your local council. As part of the local newspaper industry’s commitment to highlighting the important role of public notices, we have made it easier to keep track of notices which affect you. Each week, this column will highlight some of the significant public notices in our area, cutting through the jargon and giving plain English explanations of what is planned.
A planning application for parking spaces at a medical clinic and road closures feature in this week’s public notices.

Planning
Oldfield Lodge Medical Practice has submitted a planning application for 27 new car parking spaces.
The clinic, in Bridge Road, currently occupies both Oldfield Lodge and the nearby Bridgewater Lodge.
A design and access statement submitted to the Royal Borough says the clinic’s lease of Bridgewater Lodge is set to expire which will result in a shortfall of parking.
It is now looking to increase the number of hardstanding car parking spaces at Oldfield Lodge to ensure there are enough spaces for staff patients and visitors.
A bin store will need to be relocated if the plans are approved.
