Middlewood road closure may/June 2018

[hayes]

I think it says on the signs that there will not be replacement buses.

 

Where exactly are the signs? I've been to the middlewood road/Hillsborough area twice today and not seen any?

We had a letter through a couple of weeks ago, informing us of night works due to happen between last night and Thursday (not heard anything actually being done so far, unless they've been very quiet!).

 

The letter also mentioned this weekend's closure, but it just said that Middlewood Road would be shut, no mention of which bit. Today there's a sign at the bottom of Darwin Road, so presumably that's where Middlewood Road will be shut from.

Thank you Olive ?

Ignoring the snide comments made by one poster, it seems to me that the works should have been communicated better than they have.

 

The following is from .gov and is entitled best practice in street works and highway works.

 

This is probably classed as streetworks.

 

From the text:

ADVANCE COMMUNICATION

 

The undertakers and highway authorities should provide the public with the following advance information and details of any proposed major work:

 

• What is being done and why?

 

• Who is doing it?

 

• How to contact them?

 

• When is it being done and how long will it take?

 

• What inconvenience and disruption will be caused?

 

• • How to obtain more information? It is the undertakers' or highway authorities' responsibility to communicate appropriately with residents, businesses and the travelling public who may be affected. In particular, they should:

 

• make particular provision for people with visual impairments and other disabled people;

 

• consider access to buildings, shops, businesses and goods delivery; and

 

• give minimum advance notice periods by informing relevant people by personal visits and/or written notification.

 

Thank you for such a timely contribution the bit about it being the responsibility of the "undertakers" made me laugh

Good evening, sorry for the late reply - i can't use the internet at work.

The signs are at all the tram stops

There are only no replacement buses this weekend due to the road being closed and so buses being unable to run.

 

SL1/1A will run from oughtibridge, through the 57 worrell route and so along the top of Lang set avenue.

 

(Apologies for typing - had a few jars today!)

Is that the best reply you have?

 

Oh dear.

 

Maybe address the points I raised in the above post, and come back to us with a proper reply.

Thats his stock answer if you disagree with a post of his ‘you must work for them’

Not of much use to road users then.

No I suppose those ones arent. I'm not sure about signs on the roads as I travel by tram or bus so don't take much notice of traffic signage (too busy reading usually!)
