There appears to be some confusion on social media this morning about the scheduled works programme so to clarify the current position the confirmation email received from the highways section in November has been reproduced below.
Please note that because of the unusually cold winter weather this year temporary pothole repairs were carried out in Middle Street with an assurance that works would be carried out once the weather improved and the council was able to begin tackling the highways repairs backlog caused by the freezing weather.
Morning Councillor
Further to my previous email, please find attached a plan showing the extent of surfacing to be undertaken in this area of Blackhall Colliery. As can be seen there are several streets that are going to benefit from the correct resurfacing treatment. The works will be programmed for April 2018 as this treatment must be carried out above a certain temperature. I appreciate this is outside of this financial year but we are getting more work done in the area than previously discussed.
Regards,
Jonathan Cardy
Senior Engineer – Capital Programme
