Scheme overview

The works will involve the installation of new three-way traffic signals to support access into the development, being carried out by consortium members Taylor Wimpey and Bloor Homes, which will see 900 homes built in the area. 

Throughout the work various types of traffic management will be used including temporary traffic signals, but to minimise disruption, signals will not be used wherever possible, during peak hours of 7.30am to 9.30am and 3.30pm to 5pm on weekdays. There may also be periods of overnight road closures for required resurfacing works, which will be publicised in advance via the correct channels. 

The work will involve creating drainage works, surfacing roads, upgrading the existing street lighting, installation of traffic signals and the introduction of new splitter islands. 

There are several phases to the works which are expected to complete in the winter. The first phase will see the contractor, Fitzgeralds Contractors Ltd, mobilised and begin excavation and clearance of the site. Early activities will involve utilities diversions and installation of the drainage.

There will be some minimal and unavoidable disruption, though efforts will be made to keep traffic delays to a minimum.

The county council wants to work with residents and local businesses to understand local issues and to provide reassurances.
