Chanterlands Avenue carriageway work

John Fareham and John Abbott report that the proposed carriageway work on Chanterlands Avenue between Goddard Avenue and Bricknell Avenue is shortly going out to tender.

Papers for the January meeting of Wyke Area Committee reported that the Council will be advertising shortly for contractors to carry out the work. It is expected that the work will commence in the first week of March and the plan is to lay not one but two 40mm-thick layers of tarmac in the hope that doing do will double the time for which the new surfaces will last. We certainly hope that is the case as we know from conversations with local residents that there are safety implications, especially perhaps for the elderly, in uneven or irregular road surfaces. This work will hopefully obviate such problems, at least for a number of years.
