Hi everyone,

Thank you for your co-operation over the last couple of weeks whilst we have been transporting materials from site. We really do appreciate you working with us insuring there were no vehicles parked in the immediate vicinity of our access point, this meant we were able to remove a number of the large materials from site, which is great. We are progressing well with the planned works, and we would like to provide a further update on our works schedule, so residents and locals are informed of our plan.

We are planning to be off-site until Spring when the next set of collections/deliveries are complete, and we have some materials that need to be brought onto site to enable us to leave it safe.

Deliveries/collections have been arranged for:

Tuesday 5th Feb between 09:00 and 16:00 - the blocks being delivered cannot be brought to site on a vehicle that can access via the West Road so we will require access via Linden Avenue

Tuesday 5th Feb and Wednesday 6th Feb also between 09:00 and 16:00 - we hope the vehicles bringing this material may be able to go through the West Road access but may need to access via Linden Avenue

Wednesday 6th  Feb or Thursday 7th Feb again between 09:00 and 16:00 - we need to bring a telehandler onto site to enable us to position the above materials; we will then need to remove this from site.

Friday 8th Feb or or Monday 11th Feb- we plan to remove the telehandler from site.

Again, we do need larger vehicles to be able to safely and easily access and egress site, so we would ask that residents who normally park their vehicles within 30 metres of our access gates find an alternate parking solution on the days we need to get these vehicles to and from site. As noted previously, we acknowledge that this may cause some inconvenience to residents, but this access route has been agreed by the local council and we do have to use it to transport the materials; there is no other way we can remove them from site.  

As noted previously, we hope that we can continue to work with residents and that we will be able to complete this work with minimal impact. Whilst we hope this support continues, if we cannot safely access and egress site with our vehicles then we will contact local police so they can support us by speaking with vehicle owners and insuring the vehicles impeding access and egress are safely removed. We really hope this step won’t be necessary, but we will work with police if we have to, in order that we can ensure the safety of our people and our delivery partners - as well as of everyone and everything in the vicinity of our access point.

With best wishes
