Traffic & Roadworks

Roadworks continue

The agents delivering the cable installation work have confirmed the following:

Road closure: Old Vicarage Lane railway bridge

Access to the village via the bridge/A420/Old Vicarage Lane will be closed from around 8am on Monday 21st May to Tuesday 5th June 2018. Please note that this is worse case scenario and it may open earlier but this cannot be guaranteed.

Temporary traffic lights: Various locations

In addition to this, the workers will be excavating at points along the new cable route to pull and joint new cables. This work will involve two-way temporary traffic lights for a small section around the joint hole.

This will take place at:

  • Old Vicarage Lane – Start: 08.05.18 Finish: 15.05.18
  • Supermarine Road to Highworth Road – Start: 09.05.18 Finish: 16.05.18
  • Highworth Road to end of Road Closure – Start: 10.05.18 Finish: 17.05.18
  • Old Vicarage Lane – Start: 14.05.18 Finish: 21.05.18
  • Highworth Road to end of Road Closure – Start: 16.05.18 Finish: 23.05.18
  • Supermarine Road to Highworth Road – Start: 18.05.18 Finish: 25.05.18

We have asked the agent managing the work to restrict work outside school to half-term to avoid worsening traffic issues at school times. The agent will also be working to reduce the risk of HGV’s navigating Pound Corner to access Old Vicarage Lane.

We are aware of residents frustration with the ongoing roadworks as well as concerns about the damage and litter and the Parish Council are continuing to communicate with the agents.

Old Vicarage Lane: Roadworks start soon

Roadworks are due to take place on Old Vicarage Lane from 2nd January to 10th February 2018.

The work is to install a power cable to power Symmetry Park. The work will begin from the railway bridge end and move up Old Vicarage Lane. They will eventually connect up with the work being done at Supermarine Road.

The work will take place on the road (rather than the footpaths – where they exist) and the contractors will be using two-way lights to control the traffic.

The work will all be on the right-hand side of the road (facing into the village) so will not cross the entrances to the Recreation Ground or school but will cross the Church entrance, the pub entrance and the entrances to Church Ground and Nightingale Lane.

The Parish Council are in contact with those doing the work and will update as we get more news.
