There are multiple road closures around free school lane this week affecting access to the Halifax surgery.
There is resurfacing happening on Free School Lane and Heath Road. You can only gain access to the practice coming down from Savile Park. The road is closed however the work men are allowing access for clients and staff to the practice.
Hopefully disruption is kept to a minimum 🤞
