HENLADE residents are looking forward to Christmas - but first they have to get through a "nightmare" 15 weeks.

Heavy goods vehicles normally using the A303 are to be re-routed through the already traffic-clogged village for three months from September.

The diversion between the A303 and the M5 is being set up while the trunk road is closed at Knightshayne on the Somerset/ Devon border for £2.9million embankment and resurfacing work.
