The car park at the bottom of the hill is closed for a short time to enable a pumping station to be installed. The best place to park is behind the church and walk down the hill, or at the maze but thats a slightly longer walk.

16 weeks would appear to be a little more than a short time

Sixteen weeks is nothing compared to how long it took to do the new pumping station at Carr Dyke, that must have been 18 months!

Is it possible to access the Flatts from the northern end?
