Latest news from Natta and the Fiveways roundabout
We would like to provide an update on the roundabout works.
We are planning to lay asphalt to the footpath within our existing closure on 25th June. Following this, we will switch the traffic management into Phase 4, a sketch of which is attached. During Phase 4, works will move onto the southern footpath of Peartree Road and continue around towards Heath Road. The works in this area will include the installation of drainage, service ducts and construction of the new footpath.
We have recently introduced improvements to our traffic management, including upgraded fencing and additional signage, and have seen what appears to be a positive improvement in public response. We will continue to look for opportunities to reduce disruption and improve the experience for residents while these works are ongoing.
This is the traffic management sketch
