Lichfield Street is to be closed on Sunday 25th October, with a diversion in place, to allow for street lighting maintenance to take place.
Road closure signs were erected on a section of Lichfield Street in Stone today to allow Staffordshire County Council contractor Eon to carry out street lighting improvements and maintenance.
The closure signs are outside of Stone Post Office, by the splitter island, and run along past the various takeaways to just before the second Church Street junction, leading to The Hempbutts.
The work to the street lights is being carried out as part of Lighting for Staffordshire and forms part of a 25 year PFI (Private Finance Initiative) contract to carry out the renewal of life-expired road lighting and illuminated traffic sign equipment. The initiative covers lighting on the road and streets of Staffordshire (excluding unitary authority of Stoke on Trent and motorways passing through the county) together with the ongoing maintenance of the apparatus. The contract covers some 108,000 pieces of apparatus over the contract period.
