Pride In Our Community improvements - week beginning 3 September 2018
Here are details of what our crews are working on this week around the borough plus also a link to the Telford Community Pride Awards as well as advance notice of a major scheme in the Hollies Road area of Wellington and news of a grit bin survey.
* Roads – work will start this week in Tan Bank, Park Street and High Street/Victoria Avenue, Wellington.
* Footpaths – path improvements continue in Ketley & Overdale, Dawley & Aqueduct and Brookside.
* Road lining – road lining crews will be working in Hollinswood and Randlay on a find and fix basis.
* Signing – crews are working in Madeley and Sutton Hill.
* Grit bin survey – we are undertaking a borough wide grit bin survey, ensuring all grit bins are filled where required ahead of the new winter season.
* Potholes fixers – ‘Find it Fix it’ crews are filling potholes that have been reported to us. Please report any you spot here
* Street lighting – this week our crews are working on upgrading street lights in
Wrockwardine, Dawley and Ketley. The fourth crew is working on part of the A442 Eastern Primary and some of the other main roads in the borough so will not be covering a definitive area. If you have a question about street lighting, please email streetlighting@telford.gov.uk.
* Advance notice of upcoming work in Hollies Road and surrounding area in Wellington – work due to start on 17 Sept, and will include: the reconstruction/resurfacing of all roads and footpaths along Hollies Road, Orleton Lane, Cranage Crescent and Steventon Road with kerb replacements where needed. Signs and ironwork in these streets will be replaced and the existing traffic calming measures on Hollies Road and Orleton Lane will be upgraded. A permanent weight restriction for through traffic on Hollies Road and Orleton Lane will be imposed to stop HGV traffic using them as a cut through. Spring Hill will also be resurfaced between the roundabout and the Orleton Lane junction. All work should be completed by mid-December. Temporary road closures will need to be in place to deliver the improvements, but these will be phased in order to keep disruption to local residents and businesses to a minimum.
