Further to the UU works in Huxley I have received the email below. I have also had confirmation from CWaC Highways that the road from the Huxley Road Junction, Church Lane to the school will be resurfaced in the Oct 26 1/2 term School Holiday. I have therefore requested that UU avoid these dates for working near the school and any works there should be done prior to the 1/2 term, to ensure Highways complete the resurfacing work, that is so badly required.
The email from UU is as follows;
The reinstatement manager, met with the HA Inspector last week and agreed a number of remedial works to address defects identified along the work route, including repairs to cracks in the tarmac.
These works are expected to take approximately one week to complete and will be carried out under either rolling traffic lights or a road closure, although the traffic management is yet to be finalised.
The works are currently scheduled to take place during the October half-term period; however, the required permits have not yet been granted. Once the traffic management confirmed and permits granted I will provide confirmation of the details.
There remains a small section within the hedge area that requires additional backfill and gravel. Although this task was previously assigned to the team, it has not yet been completed. This matter has been escalated, and the outstanding works are due to be carried out tomorrow (19 Aug).
As previously communicated, there are two remaining sections of the scheme. The current position is as follows:
• Cows Lane - These works have been rescheduled as the required permits and approvals were not in place within the original timeframe. Subject to the necessary approvals being received, a road closure is now anticipated from 16 September for approximately three weeks.
• Whitchurch Road - These works have also been rescheduled due to other works taking place nearby, with Whitchurch Road currently being used as a diversion route. Cheshire West and Chester Council has requested that our works commence from 2 September, subject to the necessary permits being approved.
There is also a small section of work remaining at the junction of Red Lane/Huxley Lane, where we need to abandon a connection. We are currently awaiting approval of the required notice from the Council before this can be progressed.
On my return from work I will confirm the status of the permits for the above remaining works.
I have copied my colleague , Daniel into this email who can be contacted on my absence if you have any further questions.
Many thanks,
Emma
