A SECTION of a road in Skelmorlie is to be closed for more than a month due to Scottish Power works.

The area of Eglinton Terrace between Beechgrove and Westwood will be closed from November 4 at  8am to 5pm on December 6.

Diversions will be signposted.

Independent councillor Ian Murdoch confirmed the closure, and said: "I have had a chat with a representative of Scottish Power and local access for residents within the works and emergency vehicles will be maintained wherever possible.

"However, the road will be closed to through traffic."
