Next Parish Council Meeting

There’s a lot going on between now and Christmas. As a consequence of a lot of pressure on getting these done, as well as other, often unexpected pressures such as emergency repairs, or works by telecoms or water companies, they are subject to change. These changes can be annoying, especially in light of restrictions over published diversion routes (which will in turn often be different from the sensible local option!) But I’ve put this document together to try and lay out what we know at the moment, and to keep it updated as changes materialise.

B4230 – from Weobley to Wootton Devereux (ie, nearly all the way to the A480)

These works are confirmed for the 19th-30th October. They will be operating on a road closure from 9-5, but the roads will be accessible outside of those hours. The work is an extensive repair of the road; some cases just one side, some cases the whole width. Prep work on drainage was done earlier in the year, and we should expect a surface dressing next year or soon after.

 Traffic Calming Works in Weobley

There are 5 different sections of works; Meadow Street, Gadbridge Road, Hereford Road, Ledgemoor Road, Mill Bank. These comprise phase 1 of the traffic calming works (signage, speed infication devices, gateways, some paint on roads) - expedited to get as much done as possible while waiting for drainage to make the roads ready for surface repair such that they can take the “paint” elements of the resurfacing. We’ve tried to phase the works to minimise disruption, and to coordinate with the school The current published dates are likely to change, potentially a few weeks, however the good news is that the works are likely to be done on lights, not road closures.

·       B4230, Meadow Street. 19th-23rd October. (Likely to change)

·       C1093, Gadbridge Road. 26th-30th October. (Likely to change)

·       C1095, Hereford Road. 12th-16th October (Likely to change)

·       C1094, Burtonwood (outside school). 12th-16th October. (Subject to change)

·       B4230, Mill Bank, entrance to the village from the South. Likely to be done during the road closure for the main repair works of the B4230 from 19th-30th.

In terms of phase 2 which will include works with the drainage team, we don’t have dates for that. Similarly we don’t yet have dates for the various accessibility elements that are being scoped up, beyond the dropped curbs etc which can be included in the above works.

Weobley Marsh – Gabion Repair

This was originally scheduled for 5th-9th October. However it has now been pushed back to the 16th-20th November. The works are essentially to make good some of the failures around the gabion repairs at the top of the Marsh. They are likely to be on a road closure.

Ledgemoor Road U93410 – Welsh Water works 5th October-7th October.

Road Closure  - no further details at this point.
