TWO Forest roads are closed for resurfacing from today (Wednesday).

The A48 between Woolaston and Stroat will be closed for part of each day until Monday, May 9 while Dean Road between Littledean and Newnham will be shut for five days.

The work on Dean Road is expected to take place between 8am and 3.30pm while the working hours on the A48 will be between 7.30am and 7pm.

Diversions will be in place on both routes but residents living between Rosemary Lane in Stroat and Wyvern Garage have received letters stating access to their homes will not be affected.

Anyone affected can follow @GlosRoads on Twitter for more information.
