Sewer repair works close the rear of Middle Street

The rear of Middle Street in Blackhall is to be closed for about 4 days from today to allow for repair works to a damaged sewer. The works follow reports to the county council of flooding in this area.

I have reproduced below a letter of explanation sent to residents:

Rear Middle Street, Blackhall

Temporary Road Closure

Owing to a damaged sewer it has been necessary to temporarily close to vehicular traffic a 50 metre length of rear Middle Street between property numbers 44 and 58, Blackhall. 

The closure, which is being effected by means of Notice under Section 14(2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 is necessary by reason of likelihood of danger to the public and to permit works to be carried out to repair the sewer and build a new manhole. 

There is no signed alternative route for vehicular traffic.

The maximum duration of the closure under this Notice is 21 days.  However, it is anticipated that the closure will be effective from Monday 25 March 2013 for an anticipated period of four days.
