We’ll be supporting businesses during the closure of Brentwood High Street to traffic.

From Monday 15 September, Cadent will commence work (for six weeks) to replace the metal gas pipes. The road will be closed to traffic during this period, with diversions in place.

We have added some of Cadent’s FAQs to our website here.

We’ll be providing businesses with social media assets, as well as arranging extra signage in the High Street and using the digital advertising boards in the area to remind visitors our businesses are OPEN. You can download social media assets here.

Need any more support? Please email us on brentwoodconnected@brentwood.gov.uk.
