gunner1980 Â Â 10 #37 Posted May 10, 2012 Perhaps jubby is referring to signs that were put up before the roadworks started which state the dates etc. I know on those it just states delays possible but nothing about actually closing the road.

jubby   10 #38 Posted May 11, 2012 Well I kind of concluded that 'Road Closed' on a big red sign meant that the road was closed, which was WHY the bus was diverted It came down Sheffield Road, across Coisley Hill Roundabout, then took the first left (refusing to stop for a woman with her hand out )  I'm referring to the signs that are at either side of the planned work not any sign that may be out up during work on small parts of the planned area.  Also that would be going into town and not out of it so would be no right turn to make as it turns left at the top of normington hill ( on its normal route).

jubby   10 #39 Posted May 11, 2012 Found out more about stradbroke road.  Work will now start on 15 may (due to diversion with normington hill)  There will be traffic lights outside the school with two planned closures on the two Sundays after work starts.  This is via email from highways planning section of SCC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Greengeek   10 #40 Posted May 11, 2012 You guys seriously have nothing to complain about. You should see my road. Granted, it's private so it's no-one's responsibility than ours to resurface but it sort of stops the postie using it as it as a race course.

jubby   10 #42 Posted May 12, 2012 You guys seriously have nothing to complain about. You should see my road. Granted, it's private so it's no-one's responsibility than ours to resurface but it sort of stops the postie using it as it as a race course.  I'm not complaining about the work just the lack of information about how it will affect me.  Due to me living in the area - stradbroke road is at te end of my road and I can't avoid it as their is only one way on and off and normington hill is only about 1/2 mile from my house and I use the r/a at the end all the time so any work could have a knock on affect to me getting to work/home etc.  Our estate only has the pot holes filled about once every 3 month. They refuse to resurface as closing of the entire estate to do the work for min two weeks would be too disruptive and also cause problems for emergency services and other services like school and hospital transports.

jubby   10 #45 Posted May 13, 2012 jubby did you not get a letter off street force telling you what was happening we did ring the number i gave outhe is the man incharge of the works hope this will help  No letter - first found out when I saw the signs.  Looked on website nothing - sent email hot reply 3 days later.  Personally i feel it should be on the website the week before the signs go up as it directs you to the website.

Will they move up towards Richmond end or Woodhouse end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
