Building work which is obstructing the roadway

Building work is currently taking place on the corner of smith street, lincoln where it meets the high street. The road does not appear to have been closed / sectioned off correctly. There are no signs as you approach to make you aware that this work is taking place and part of the road is completely blocked. On several occasions this week, drivers have been forced to reverse on to the high street where viability is poor and leads straight into a bus lane. When trying to enter the street of several occasions due to large lorries you have been unable to turn and therefore blocking the high street and having to have to just sit and block a whole lane. I work at the bottom of smith street in the school which has been situated there for main years. Due to the nature of our pupils they arrive and leave via taxi and this obstruction has caused issues with access. Smith street is already very congested with parked cars all day down both sides of the street, so much so we can’t even get our bins collected. I am concerned that this road closure has and is not being properly managed and why if process has been followed how we have not been made aware so we can input into managing the situation esp when we are waiting for transport to arrive / leave. There would also be concern should emergency services require access to our site and they would struggle to pass the site on occasions that I and colleagues have witnessed. I would be happy to discuss this futher as required.
