As expected, we completed our final connection on The Street and were able to remove the traffic lights on Wednesday. I am sure that this has been a huge relief for residents, road users and councillors- we are all thrilled that we have managed to complete the service connections on time; it hasn’t been easy and the teams have worked incredibly hard to achieve this.
Thank you very much for bearing with us and for your support in communicating with the community, it really has been invaluable.
Moving forward..
Next week, we will be completing some disconnections, removing the manholes and reinstating the road surface on Caistor Lane and Shotesham Road. We do not expect to use any traffic management other than Stop and Go boards where required and our teams will work around peak hours to minimise the disruption to traffic.
As previously confirmed, we have further decommissioning work to complete in January. This work has not been able to be completed yet as we can’t carry out this work until we are 100% certain all properties are connected to the new main. Next week we will switch off the supply to the old main and then in January we will be able to cut and cap sections of pipe that we need to, to complete the decommissioning. This will involve short periods of traffic management at approx.. three locations and I will provide details of this next week; apologies I haven’t been able to confirm our final plans for this yet.
