Two way traffic lights will be placed on Bromsgrove Road, just down from Putney Lane, on Monday 30th April.
These will be in place for up to two weeks to allow the pipe to be laid across the road safely.
As part of the Birmingham Resilience Project, Barhale have put in a traffic management request for the use of temporary traffic lights for two weeks on Bromsgrove Road. The proposed start date will be 6th December.
If agreed, the proposal is that the lights are manned during peak hours to help with the flow of traffic, along with the traffic management signage.
Severn-Trent Resilience Project
This is an update regarding work activity which has started this week.
From Monday work is due to commence on the site which will involve the delivery of a piece of work machinery, plus deliveries of stone/gravel and spoil being removed from the site. This is to create an access road into the site and will be ongoing for a couple of weeks.
There will therefore be visible site traffic going in and out of the site – road signage will be put in place on Monday – this cannot be put in place (due to highways restrictions) until the work actually commences.
If you have any queries or require any further information, please use the contact details available on the Parish Council and RCLG pages.
Notice of maintenance work.
The Parish Council has been in extended negotiations with Severn Trent PLC regarding rectifying the many outstanding issues that were left in the Parish after the works they undertook to install storm drains in St Kenelm’s Road during 2012.
These issues included damage to the grass verges at the bottom end of St Kenelm’s Road and several issues that had been left unresolved at the Park car park.
We are very pleased to confirm that Severn Trent now fully accept their historic responsibilities and, as a result, have commissioned a different group of contractors to revisit the parish in the coming weeks to rectify the outstanding problems.
These works will include:
• Resurfacing the Park car park
• Replacement of the surrounding edging fence in the car park
• Replacing the damaged entry gate
• Replanting the grass verges in St Kenelm’s Road
We are keen to get the majority of these works completed before the school summer holiday starts as this is when the park car park is most in demand.
The works are scheduled to start in the week commencing Monday the 18th July and should take 5 days to complete depending on weather and any issues encountered.
During this period the Park car park will be closed to both vehicles and pedestrians however, a signed pedestrian diversion route will be put in place.
In addition, we would ask residents in St Kenelm’s Road, between Kenelm Court and Yew Tree Place, to avoid parking next to the grass verges on the Spa side of the road.
To ensure the works are completed properly, the Parish Council has agreed a formal schedule of works and will be involved in the formal sign off process.
The Parish Council would like to apologise to all residents for the short notice about these works. Final agreement and confirmation were only achieved with Severn Trent and its contractor late last week (w/c 4th July).
We would also like to take this opportunity to apologise for any disruption to residents while these short but important works are completed.
