We were just informed today (2nd April) that our road will be subject to works and traffic management for 4 weeks. The entire 150 metres or residential parking will be removed for that time, there are no other roads close by that would normally be clear of parked vehicles and any vehicles left in the zone of the works will be removed. Looking online there are scheduled works listed as commencing yesterday - 1 day before we were notified.
Our terrace opens straight onto the road with no pavement and there will be live traffic from both directions within inches of our gates where, normally, our own parked vehicles create a buffer of proximity.
What are a council’s/contractors obligations to notifying us?
It’s clearly going to be a considerable burden.

What does "buffer of proximity" mean?
I ask because I'm unfamiliar with the expression but I also wonder if it offers some insight to your thinking..

Buffer of proximity means we can get in/out of our gate without the risk of vehicles passing within inches.

If you haven't already then you need to get reading on the traffic management requirements
The notice period is less important than your safety

No doubt there are a few quid in the pot to use before the new financial year and the work is getting done
