A MAIN road into Newport will become a one-way road from the second week in January.

Southern Water are commencing work at Staplers Road from Monday, January 7. The work will continue until mid-April.

The company has assured those who live in the section being worked on will have full vehicle access at all times.

Those heading away from Newport can use Staplers Road as usual, but those heading into the town centre will have to divert via Wootton or Blackwater.

Southern Water may need to turn off the water supply to some properties on the road but will give 48 hours notice.
