A spokesman for the WBC said: "We would like to notify you about a short period of upcoming overnight works planned for next month. 

"The works at the new northern roundabout on the A329 Reading Road, opposite Woodward Close, are progressing well. 

"You can expect to see a change in the existing temporary traffic management layout.

 "Temporary traffic lights at the Woodward Close junction are set to remain in operation. 

"We will continue to monitor and assess the current flow of traffic in order to mitigate delays along this busy section of road. Delays can be expected until Christmas. 

"Due to the nature of the works, noise levels may be higher than normal which we appreciate may be an inconvenience. 

"We will obviously be doing everything practical to keep any intrusion to a minimum and mitigate the impact as far as possible.

"Access for local residents will remain open at all times.
