Business owners in Stafford say roadworks on a busy route in the town are having a detrimental effect on customers.

Staffordshire County Council Statement: 鈥淕ood roads are important for residents, motorists and of course the economy and it is important to invest in keeping them safe and well maintained."

鈥淭he works to Chell Road and Doxey Road are vital improvements for the county town that will not only prolong the life of the roads but will make it safer for cyclists and pedestrians. The scheme is part of a wider 拢30 million investment we are making In our roads over the next two years."

鈥淲e do recognise that disruption is inevitable during major road improvements and crews work hard to minimise this and find the safest and most efficient way of getting them done. To make sure the work on Doxey Road can be carried out safely the road has had to be temporarily closed, however, crews continue to review this and do hope to get the work finished ahead of schedule."

鈥淲e do work with local businesses and write to them ahead of any works. We also ensure the proper signage is in place to let people know that businesses are still open during the works and would encourage people to support them.鈥�
