A one mile stretch of a Portishead road will be closed in four stages from today for resurfacing work.

Extra layers are being added to the tarmac on Nore Road in some places to strengthen it for the winter - in a hundred and fifteen thousand pound project.

One section - from Slade Road and Beach Road to West Hill - was done two years ago but found not to reach the required standard and is being patched at no cost to the council.
