Felthorpe Parish Council

Road closures on Beech Avenue & Fir Covert Road, Taverham for carriageway resurfacing
 
Work will begin on Friday 9 September to carry out carriageway resurfacing works on A1067 Fakenham Road, Taverham at the junction with Fir Covert Road and Beech Avenue. The works will be carried out overnight 7.00 pm to 7.00 am and will take one night to complete.

During the resurfacing works traffic using A1067 Fakenham Road will be controlled by temporary 2 way traffic signals  although it will be necessary to close the junctions with both Fir Covert Road and Beech Avenue to all through traffic.
Fully signed local diversions for Fir Covert Road and Beech Avenue will be in place for the duration of the overnight closure. Please see attached for details

Access to businesses and properties will be maintained from one end of the closure at all times but it is inevitable that there will be some disruption.  The County Council apologises for any inconvenience this may cause.

The work which will cost £31,000 will be carried out by Norfolk County Council’s Community & Environmental Services Department and their contractors.

Norfolk County Council have advised that they are aiming to commence construction of the two build-outs along The Street, starting on 17 October 2016, for a two week duration.

During week one (17th October) they will build one-half of the build-outs at the two locations, under two-way temporary traffic signals.  As the available road width will become reduced, the second half of each of the build-outs will be completed during the second week, w/c 24 October, under temporary road closure. This second week coincides with October half-term week, and therefore will not create disruption to the school bus services which travel along The Street.

The following email has been received from Anglian Water, which may be of interest to parishioners:

Dear Miss Blythe

There may be good news coming for some of your parishioners if they have a private pumping station on their property.

Currently, homeowners have to spend hundreds of pounds every year for electricity running costs, maintenance and repairs to look after these private pumping stations. They may even have been flooded if it’s broken down in the past.

From October 2016, many of these private pumping stations will transfer over to Anglian Water and become our responsibility. We will take over all of the maintenance and the running costs too, saving customers hassle, worry and money.

We’d like to ask for your support in letting local residents know about this, and asking them to get in touch with us if they think they have a private pumping station.

To help customers identify and report the pumping stations easily, we have launched a specialist website: www.spotapumpingstation.co.uk.

We have also produced some posters, which you can download here, that can be published in your parish magazines and newsletters, or placed on your parish noticeboards.

If you have any questions about this campaign, please reply to privatepumpingstations@anglianwater.co.uk. For any other queries, please contact our Public Affairs Team on public.affairs@anglianwater.co.uk.

Thank you in advance for your support.
