At last! Franklin Rd gets resurfaced!

The work to be done  is to plane off the remains of the old macadam overlay on the concrete section of road from Headley way to the school entrance and down towards Woodlands Road and to lay a new overlay.  This overlay will extend slightly beyond the ends of the concrete road.

Work will commence on Tuesday 28th May 2013 and most of the work will be completed by the end of the week.

The extent of the work will largely be to resurface the areas of concrete carriageway. This is between Headley Way and the school entrance, and along towards Woodlands Road.

In order to facilitate the works and to ensure the safety of workers and members of the public, a Road Closure order has been provided which prohibits use of the road except by residents and frontagers gaining access to premises within the closure area and for emergency services. This is all subject to the progress of the works.

Most of the road will be available for access out of working hours; parking will necessarily be displaced as the area of work passes along the street.

No other work is intended to be carried out as part of this surfacing contract but the existing parking restrictions will be resinstated at the conclusion of the work.

As part of City Works’ Quality Programme a questionaire will be sent after the work is completed to residents and occupiers immediately affected by the repairs.

If you have any comments on the proposals or require further information please contact the City Council on  (01865)249811
