A LONG diversion will be put in place next month when a North Petherton route is closed for roadworks.

Dancing Hill from the junction with Melcombe Lane eastwards to the junction of High Street will be closed between December 1 for 12 days between 8am and 6pm.

The alternative route will be along Park Lane, Goathurst Road, Enmore Road, Spaxton Road, Durleigh Road, West Street, the A39 the A38 to the junction with Old Road and into North Street to the eastern end of the closure.

The closure is to enable TLU Contractors to lay a BT power duct.
