Overnight roadworks are set to get underway in Helston next week - with a road closure and diversion in place for the duration of the week.

The work will begin on the main road down Meneage Street on Monday 2nd August and is expected to be completed on Friday 6th August, the restrictions will be in force from 7pm until 6am.

This is all being put in place for resurfacing work.

A spokesperson for Cornwall Council sought to reassure residents that the noise overnight would be kept to a minimum, adding:

"We know that noise associated with night time work can cause disruption to residents and we understand this can be frustrating.

"Please be assured we aim to complete the noisiest operations as early as possible and will try to minimise any impact should the works overrun due to unforeseen circumstances.

"We will have marshals on-site to support residents and businesses needing local access. All through traffic will need to follow the diversions at all times."
