Bricknell Avenue carriageway reinstatement

John Fareham and John Abbott report that a scheme to repair the joints and redo the surface of part of Bricknell Avenue is in the Council’s capital maintenance programme for 2014-15. This means the Council have drawn up their shopping list of repairs they can afford this year and part of Bricknell Avenue is on that list. The work to be undertaken involves repairing the joints in the concrete below the tarmac and resurfacing the area concerned, on the outbound side from the roundabout to National Avenue, with surfacing materials used on roads such as this which are busy but not excessively so. We do not have a start date for the work yet - neither, to be fair, do the officers – but we will pass the date on when we have it and are encouraged by the reflection that the first part of Bricknell Avenue from which we received reports of heavy-traffic vibration is also the first to be fully resurfaced. We will of course keep in at the officers to resurface any other part of Bricknell Avenue that requires similar attention.
