The work was initially scheduled for August but was postponed due to vehicles parked on the road which were preventing the work from going ahead.

A spokesman for Suffolk Highways said: "To enable us to successfully resurface the road, please ensure you move your vehicle from the area highlighted by 'no parking' cones."

A diversion route will be in place along Fuchsia Lane, Foxhall Road, Wellesley Road and vice versa for the duration of the works.

Suffolk Highways says the road will be closed to ensure the safety of highway users and our operatives.
