We know that Rawreth Parish Council? are EXTREMELY concerned about this and are asking if help can? be given to the local businesses there. We very much share their concerns. The parish council know that local businesses have already suffered as a result?of the prolonged road closure earlier in the year due to flooding. They have pointed out that many of the local,?smaller, family owned businesses rely on?passing trade generated through people?using Watery?Lane and Beeches Road and are now faced with another three month closure, meaning that?for six months out of the last year they have had no passing trade and will suffer substantial losses.
Does anybody at ECC think before they sanction work. Why on earth did they not schedule the repairs over the summer 6 week break ? Better weather and less traffic.
Plus 18 months !! What are they planning, a complete new road !
How much are we paying these incompetent people at ECC ?
No, thats to let them work for a couple of days, disappear for two or three weeks because the weather is wrong, work another couple of days, take two weeks off over Christmas/New Year, not work for another month after that because it rains and/or snows, etc. etc.
Christine,
Thanks for clearing that one up…….I shall look forward to 45m journeys from Bedlows Corner to DPW……
letters have been sent out, saying this work is to start on the 14th October
