Priory Crescent is to be closed to enable Cuckoo Corner improvement works to be carried out.

The road will be closed from 8pm on Friday November 19 until 6am on Monday November 22.

Residents wishing to gain access to Priory Crescent during this period will be provided with a pass which they can show the site workforce in order to be allowed through.

Motorists without passes will have to follow signed diversion routes in order to gain entry from another direction.

Manners Way will be closed overnight on the evenings of Friday November 19 and Saturday November 20 at 8pm and re-opened the following mornings at 8am.

It will also be closed on Sunday November 21 at 8pm and reopened at 6am on Monday November 22.

Only houses up to Hampton Gardens will be affected by the closure and access permits will be given to the necessary residents.

This closure will allow contractors to work on both arms of the roundabout at the same time to complete kerb, drainage and paving works.

Traffic wishing to join the A127 will be able to do so using the remaining section of the roundabout.

The junction improvements are part of the multi million pound Better Southend scheme on schedule to complete by the end of March 2011.
