DRIVERS face disruption in Hollins next week as essential tree-felling work takes place.

Hollins Brow will be closed during daylight hours from Monday to Friday between its junctions with Manchester Road and Hollins Lane.

Bury Council says that a large number of trees are in a dangerous condition and must be removed in the interests of public safety.

Work can only take place in the daytime but, if safe to do so, the road will be re-opened overnight.

Traffic will be diverted along Hollins Lane, Sunnybank Road and Manchester Road, and motorists are advised to allow more time for their journey.
