Highways Work - B1188 resurfacing

The Parish Council has been informed by Highways that there are plans to reconstruct the existing carriageway along the B1188 Potterhanworth to Branston (between the Potterhanworth crossroads and the edge of Branston).  The works are due to commence towards the end of February 2010 for a number of weekends.  Working hours shall be from 7pm on a Friday to 10pm on a Sunday and the work will be carried out under a road closure.  Diversions will be in place.  Exact starting date not as yet known (as at writing 7 Jan 2010).

 

Latest May 2009 Annual Report from the Chairman, Philip Stephenson - see file attachments at the bottom of this page.

No major infrastructure projects are planned for 2009/10.  The Parish Council will ensure that the fabric of the village is maintained and well cared for.  The services of the village dog warden will continue throughout 2009 to ensure the village footpaths are clean.

Speed Indicator devices have recently been in the village, stationed at the main entrances to the village.  Results have been encouraging, with speeds declining over the duration of the monitoring period.  The Police will return shortly to the village, this time with speed gun devices, so motorists have been warned!!
