PROPOSED road works on the A360 have been officially postponed.

A section of the A360, between the junction of The Avenue and Longbarrow junction on the A303, was due to be closed from the first week of September to December as part of the A303 Stonehenge upgrade.

Due to last week's High Court decision, Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) has now officially postponed the planned works.

SSEN were due to be installing high voltage and fibre optic cabling along the route, which required a full closure for safety reasons due to the narrow width of the road and minimal space along the verges.
