Bricknell Avenue traffic vibration

John Fareham and John Abbott have secured a proposed solution to the problems with vibration from Bricknell Avenue traffic. We secured an inspection of this section of carriageway by the officers who concluded the problem was not so much the relaying of the carriageway after the cabling works on the even-numbered side – it had been done to a higher standard, as specified by the Council, than that normally followed, and a small overlap between the trench reinstatement and the existing road surface had already been fixed. They concluded, however, that the state of repair of the other side of the road- problems with joints and with the loose surface – could result in vibration being transmitted to adjacent properties. It is therefore currently proposed to include repairing the joints and resurfacing the carriageway in the 2014-15 capital maintenance programme currently under preparation. Because of existing highway commitments this work cannot be done before then. We will of course pass on any more details we have about the work as we get them.
