Roadworks have begun on the B1281 to enable the construction of a roundabout at the entrance to the housing development currently taking place on land adjacent to the 'new' Hesleden Road. I have received additional detail about the extent and duration of the works and I've published it below for information:
B1281 off Coast Road, Blackhall Colliery
Temporary Speed Restriction Order
I refer to the application dated 21 August 2021 relating to the above. The closure
will be effected by an Order under Section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act
1984. The Order has been authorised by the Corporate Director of Neighbourhoods
and Climate Change to commence from Monday 18 October
2021 for an anticipated period of 10 weeks.
It will be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Road Traffic
(Temporary Restrictions) Procedure Regulations 1992 which require that:-
(i) A notice be displayed in a prominent position at each end of the length of the
road to which the Order relates and at the points at which it will be necessary
to diverge from the road, stating the effect of the Order and, where applicable,
the alternative route or routes available for vehicular traffic.
(ii) Each such notice shall be displayed throughout the period during which the
Order is in force and all reasonable steps must be taken to ensure that the
notices remain in a legible condition and continue to be so displayed for so
long as the Order remains in force, and are promptly replaced as often as
occasion requires during that period.
Notices for use in complying with the aforementioned Regulations are enclosed.
In addition you must provide and maintain at each end of the length of road the
subject of closure, and at suitable points along the diversionary route for vehicular
traffic, appropriate closure and diversion signs which accord with Chapter 8 of the
Department of Transport Traffic Signs Manual. The provision of the signs and their
maintenance should be undertaken by a reputable traffic management company.
For information it is County Council practice to recover the advertising costs
incurred in the making of the Order. Your Purchase Order Number WC002 refers.
You must ensure that prior notification of the closure / prohibition is given to those
residents and premises directly affected by the restrictions.
