**GOOD NEWS!**

Hi Everyone

The lights on Beacon Lane are being removed today, which is good news for those who drive that way! We will, however, need to put them back on for a short period at some point in the future - we'll be in touch to let you know when nearer the time.

Hope you have a good weekend

Tony

Hi Everyone

Further to my email last week, the eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed that we were slightly delayed in beginning to crose Beacon Lane! As a result, the traffic lights I promised you (warned you about!) will now be in place from Tuesday 3 April 2018.

I hope you have a nice Easter Weekend and hope the weather stays dry!

Tony

Hi Everyone

I was visiting Beacon Lane yesterday and went out with Stu to try to speak to the local residents impacted by our next stage of work. From week commencing Monday 26 March 2018, we'll be crossing Breacon Lane by the current site of the compound. This means that there will be temporary traffic lights in place for up to two weeks. As ever we will work as quickly as we can to minimise the disruption.

Hi Everyone

Happy Friday!! Another week ticked off!

I've been in touch with Stu on site and he has provided me with an update on progress.

Although knocked slightly due to the recent severe weather conditions in early March, we are now getting back on track and making progress at a steady rate. We have now installed approximately 40% of the total drainage and constructed 3 of the 7 manholes required. We will continue to work to the best of our ability and finish as quickly as we can. I've attached a few photos of the work.

If you have any queries please get in touch by commenting on here and we will be happy to respond

Enjoy the weekend

Tony

Hi Everyone

Following last week's brush with The Beast From The East, you'll be pleased to see that we are back on site today! Obviously the weather knocked us back a little, but we will now resume and get back on track.

Have a good week

Tony

Good morning

Happy Snow Day (another one)!

Just to keep everyone informed, as you would expect our site is closed.  We have made the decision for it to stay closed until Monday.

Please stay safe and enjoy your weekend.  We will provide a further update on Monday if required

We wrote recently telling you about our work to cross Ealing Square. Work has progressed well, so we will be in a position to remove the traffic management from Ealing Square by the end of today!

We hope you have a good weekend
