The works are now back in full flow
following the Easter Break. Crescent Road has been closed again to allow
the lay-bys to be completed safely. The next phase of the works will see
the tie-in with Main Road
at the south end of Crescent Road. There will be no access from Oak Street to
Crescent Road and a diversion route will be set up via Broad Street. Crescent Road will be
open for deliveries and shoppers from Beech Street to Oak Street. To avoid excess
congestion on Oak Street
the north end of Crescent Road will remain closed. The new lighting
columns are being erected and we are now waiting for these to be
connected to the electric mains. The first rope light is ready and will
follow on from the column erection. The new bollards, benches and bike
stands have been delivered and we are now outstanding only one load
of porphyry and seven loads of sandstone. The new road signs are not
quite ready but the posts will start to be installed next week ready for
the new faces when they arrive. On the A591 we are awaiting for the
traffic signals to be powered up to allow them to be commissioned.
The
construction team are carrying out the work to allow continuous access to
the local businesses, and we would like to thank everyone for their kind
words and gifts.
We would
also like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
