Roadworks

You may already be aware that DCC have started to resurface the Hurn Road, and Fairmile Road, which works are scheduled over the next five weeks.

This work is taking place overnight, due to the very heavy disruptions and chaos that would ensue if carried out during the daytime.

This has caused a large number of complaints among residents in St Catherine's Ward so discussions are now in place to try to alleviate any further problems for residents along the way in our Ward and Portfield.

It is inevitable that some issues will arise, but we do hope not too many. If they do put in place any other working practice, then the number of nights will be extended therefore the disruptions will last longer.

If we can put up with the night time noise and a few diversions now, then this will enable the works to be completed in just a few nights rather than weeks.

I look forward to your comments, so that I can bring them into the discussions with County.

Please let me know your thoughts by email, blog or tweet.

Nearly everyone I spoke with over the past few weeks said that the road surface needs doing, unfortunately there is a price, but hopefully this will be over very quickly. I would urge you to understand the difficulty, but I do fully appreciate the problems that may occur.
