Last time I got a letter. From council I think? They're responsible for local roads. And then the planned date came and went, and they came and closed the road on a completely different date with no notice. I guess they kind of tried?
I had a letter posted about works that were nowhere near me, so disregarded it. Then I got a hastily hand addressed notice in my letterbox telling me about work starting the next day, so I think they stuffed up the address.
I haven't always been notified of work in the street where they are closing the roads, but they generally haven't completely blocked access, I've still been able to drive in and out with supervision (to make sure I don't run over the workers!). I did have to park a few houses away temporarily once when they did block access for a bit, but the workers were very friendly and helped me carry my groceries home ๐
