🚧 IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR OUR CUSTOMERS 🚧
Many of you may already be aware that Anglian Water will soon be carrying out major works in Walpole St Peter and Walpole St Andrew.
These works are expected to continue until March 2027 and will involve a number of road closures, diversions and temporary traffic management measures.
Our current understanding of the works is as follows:
📍 24th August – 21st September: Market Lane will be closed north of the A17.
📍 21st September – 18th December: Market Lane will be closed south of the A17.
🚦 Temporary traffic lights will also be in place at the Market Lane and Chalk Road junction between 21st September and 18th December.
The good news is that Samuel’s Farm Shop and Brothers In Arms will remain OPEN throughout the works, and you will still be able to access us.
We know from previous road closures just how challenging these disruptions can be for local businesses. Your continued support means everything to our family, our staff and the many other independent businesses in the area.
Please don’t let the diversions put you off visiting us. Whether you’re popping into the farm shop, enjoying breakfast, joining us for lunch, enjoying dinner at the restaurant or simply stocking up on your favourite produce, we’ll still be here and ready to welcome you.
As the works progress from one phase to the next, we will keep our customers updated on a weekly basis. We will share regular updates across our social media channels and provide as many clear directions and diversion notices as possible to help you find the easiest route to us.
We would be incredibly grateful if you could share this post to help spread the word and support local businesses during this period.
Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
❤️ Gemma, Ben and all the teams at Samuel’s Farm Shop & Brothers In Arms
