WORK on the raising the road at Muchelney and four new culverts on the A372 at Beer Wall to protect Levels and Moors communities from flooding is due to start on September 29.

Both schemes, being undertaken for Somerset County Council, will result in road closures for ten weeks.

An Environment Agency scheme to build a new flood defence at Aller will require the closure of Aller Drove for six weeks from September 15.

During road closures, diversions will take motorists along the shortest equivalent road alternative, though locals may find shorter routes.

Drop-in sessions are planned later this month in Muchelney and Aller for people to discuss the schemes, road closures and diversions.
