Raunds road closure next week to allow for drainage improvements
Brick Kiln Road into North Street will close for five days next week to allow for drainage improvements to be carried out in the area.
A diversion route has been recommended through London Road and Wellington Road while works are ongoing from 8am on August 3 until 5pm on August 7.
A Raunds Town Council spokesman said: “We have received notification of a road closure from North Northamptonshire Council & Kier Highways for Brick Kiln Road, North Street & Rotton Row, Raunds.
“The roads will be closed for five days from 3rd August 2026 to undertake drainage improvement works.”
Brick Kiln Road and its junction with North Street has long been an area of Raunds subject to flooding, with multiple attempts from Northamptonshire Highways to correct faults in misconnected sewage pipes.
The footpath will remain open during the works.
