Scholars Drive latest

John Fareham and John Abbott have the latest details on the progress of Scholars Drive becoming an adopted highway and on arranging for street light shielding.

Working closely as ever with the local residents’ association, we can now confirm that, with all the necessary works having been carried out on the road surface itself, the corporate centre now propose to wait for six months and, if no defects appear within that timeframe, the road will then be adopted.  As to the street light shielding, we have secured the agreement of the officers concerned to press for the works to be carried out sooner rather than later, as we would prefer given that we promised action on this during the election campaign and are determined to make sure that action is what the Council delivers. We now understand that an order for the work has been raised with KWL which should mean action in the near future.
