Highbury gets new pavements and other improvements
|
The Lib Dem Council is working on a programme of street improvements across the Borough to help declutter our streets and improve access and safety. As a result the area around Highbury Fields across to Holloway Road will get new paving and other works to make this happen. This will also deal with the nasty mess left by the builders on Ronalds Road that we assured you would be dealt with a few months ago.
The improvements include laying new paving on each side of the street along:
At the same time there will be a reduction in thethe amount of street clutter, by removing any redundant bollards, signposts etc. These works will start on 6 May 2008 and finish by mid July 2008. To allow the work to happen the ouncil will introduce some parking suspensions in the area - lots of notice will be given but to look out for signs. However, these will be kept to a minimum and we will ensure that signs are put up well in advance to give residents as much notice as possible of any restrictions. The noise will also be kept to a minimum and work will be carried out between 8am and 5pm Monday to Friday and if necessary, 8am to 1pm on Saturdays.
Cllr Terry Stacy said “I hope you will see the benefits of the improvements, it will make a big difference. In the meantime if you have any problems with the works please do let us know.”
