I wish to update you about essential carriageway resurfacing work that is currently taking place on the A529 north of Adderley, curtailing at the Shropshire County boundary.

Works are currently approximately 1 week behind programme and it is predicted the works will over-run into mid-September during School Term Time.

On Tuesday 5^th September 2016, the new school year begins and in order to accommodate the needs of parents making a school run the road closure times will be reduced to the hours 9am to 2:45pm from this date. (Currently, road closure hours are restricted to the hours of 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday during the school holiday period).

The following philosophy will remain while undertaking the works:

·         School runs aren’t affected.

·         Commuters travelling before 9am and after 5pm Monday to Friday will not be adversely affected.

·         The road will be open at the weekend, evenings and early morning.

We appreciate that this work will continue to cause some disruption to local residents and businesses and hope you will bear with us while this important work is carried out.

A signed diversion route will be in place while the road is closed. Information about the work, including diversion routes, can be found on a dedicated webpage atwww.shropshire.gov.uk/roadworks. Updates will be added to this page throughout the work to keep people informed of progress.

The Parish Council has been circulated with details of a company called Careline who provide monitoring systems for people who live alone. It may be of interest to some in the parish. Click on the link below to see what they have to offer.

Essential carriageway resurfacing work that is programmed to take place throughout August 2016 on the A529 north of Adderley, curtailing at the Shropshire County Boundary.

The work will involve the laying of 5,300 tonnes of surfacing materials to provide structural and geometric improvements and the renewal of the failed highway drainage system. Repairs to a damaged bridge parapet will also be undertaken.

Due to the width and alignment of the road, it will need to be closed to traffic while work is carried out.

As a result, the road will be closed from Monday 25 July to Wednesday 31 August and signed diversions will be in place.

As work in taking place during the school holidays the road closures and diversions will be restricted to the hours of 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.  This will ensure that:

·         School runs aren’t affected because the schools are on holiday.

·         Commuters travelling before 9am and after 5pm Monday to Friday will not be adversely affected.

·         The road will be open at the weekend, evenings and early morning.

We appreciate that this work will cause some disruption to local residents and businesses, but we hope you will bear with us while this important work is carried out, as it will which lead to significant improvements for residents, businesses and road users.

A signed diversion route will be in place while the road is closed.

Information about the work, including diversion routes, can be found on a dedicated webpage at www.shropshire.gov.uk/roadworks. Updates will be added to this page throughout the work to keep people informed of progress.

We need a volunteer working within the community to organise a transport system that meets the needs of all of us. Could that volunteer be you?

This will be a rewarding task – creating and supporting a new transport system to enable those without transport to travel to and from regional centres, as well as developing feeder connections with local villages.
