Deansford Kennels

14/07/2024

Deansford Lane is having carriageway work done from tomorrow for 50 days! The work is starting from the A450 end, but you can access the kennels from the A456 Blakedown end. We have been assured that the staff and customers will be let through

Don’t forget that Deansford Lane is due to be closed from Tuesday 16th July for approximately 6 weeks for the edge of carriage way scheme to be undertaken. The contractors are starting at the A450 (Harvington) end so if you do need access as a local resident or to one of the businesses for example Deansford Kennells best to access from the A456 (Blakedown) end. Please follow the signage and ask the traffic management contractors on site for information on access.

I am very pleased that this scheme is being undertaken at my request to tackle the potential holes and dangerous drops between the road and the verge.

** IMPORTANT **
From this evening through to the 22nd January, the A456 from its junction with Deansford lane to Husum way, towards Kidderminster is closed off due to a major gas leak which in turn has lead to a sink hole and flooding. Please be aware when travelling on the lane as this will no doubt cause an increased volume of traffic in both directions!!

BLAKEDOWN ENDOF OUR LANE IS OPEN

Good morning all, just to let everyone know that the A456 end of the lane is still open despite the road closed signs. It is closed past the entrance to the kennels. We do apologies for any inconveience caused during the road closure

Notice of Partial Road Closure - 3rd July for up to 6 weeks

We're sorry to report that Severn Trent will be closing Deansford Lane from the A450 (Hagley to Mustow Green) to the Kennels, starting from the 3rd of July and running for “up to” 6 weeks (~14th August)

We will be operating as normal throughout this period but you will only be able to access the kennels from the A456 end of the lane. (The Hagley to Kidderminster road)

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience that the road closure will cause you but we have discovered that we have absolutely no agency in this matter.

Severn Trent are installing a new mains water pipe to run across the lane, a span of a massive 5 metres, yet they insist they will need “up to” 6 weeks to complete the works. 🤔

I have enthusiastically argued for a reduction in the length of the road closure or to add some flexibility to access times but this has fallen on unsympathetic ears.

Please see the map below which I hope will explain the location of the works and the diversion route to reach us.

Once again, we apologise for the inconvenience.

Best regards,

Robin & the Kennels team.
