In Progress
- B480 Elford Bridge, Alrewas Staffordshire County Council Highways team is undertaking essential work to repair the damaged stone parapet and upgrade the failing retaining wall.
- Essential works on S278 Watery Lane in order to facilitate the entrance to a new development being carried out by Redrow Homes Limited. Works start from 19 June 2024 and are expected to take place for a period of 22 weeks.
The currently vacant land, formerly known as the Rugeley Power Station site, will soon be transformed into a new development area.
A portion of this development has been allocated for Staffordshire County Council's requirement of a new All-Through School, set to open in September 2025. The development site will significantly benefit the community of Rugeley.
The Rugeley 3rd Access scheme includes the implementation of a 3-arm access roundabout from the A51 into the site. The roundabout will be located northwest of the existing roundabout, which provides access to Priory Avenue.
