Biddulph Nub News reported previously how how nine weeks of roadworks were scheduled for Tunstall Road as part of the preparations for the supermarket.

The roadworks began on 20th September and involve the construction of a new fourth exit for the roundabout which also connects to St John's Road. The new exit will provide access onto the Aldi supermarket site.

The section of Tunstall Road from the junction with Newpool Road to the Meadows Way roundabout will be closed from 8:30pm - 5:30am, starting tonight (8th November).

It is anticipated that the works will be finished and road reopened on 12th November.
