Oxenden Road and The Street: Improvement works and road closure information

Delay to works on Oxenden Road A gas leak was discovered along Manor Road late on Friday 20 October, the week before half term. This resulted in Manor Road being closed for the majority of half term (23 to 27 October), with traffic diverted via Oxenden Road. Due to the gas leak and necessary road closure, we were unable to close Oxenden Road and had to wait for Southern Gas Networks to complete the repairs to their gas main. They did not finish this work until Friday 27 October, therefore this left insufficient time for us to undertake the works on Oxenden Road. We are looking to rearrange the works in Oxenden Road for a future school holiday period in early 2024. No date has been confirmed as yet, but nearer the agreed programme date, advance warning letters will be delivered to local residents and our website will be updated. Works left to complete on The Street Since installing the three road tables in The Street the weather has not been dry enough to apply the permanent road markings to the new road tables and on the approaches. Our contractor has programmed these works to hopefully take place this week subject to weather.

Works update – Oxenden Road and The Street

Tuesday 17th October Works are progressing well, with works on The Street due to complete this week to schedule. Lots of work was underway today with induction loops being installed, asphalt being laid, and excavation and preparation of the ground for installation of the first speed table. Residents are being assisted by the on-site team and are encouraged to speak to them if they have any requirements, and their patience during the disruption is appreciated. Next week, the contractors will move onto Oxenden Road, with The Street reopened to through traffic. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1697554668/projects/ashandtonghamenhancements/e10f2ba2-6175-4768-a57c-68ab18811243.jpg" /> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1697554975/projects/ashandtonghamenhancements/33e607c6-f9d2-4f84-9def-864650bd57a5.jpg" /> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1697555039/projects/ashandtonghamenhancements/0097e406-c792-4c1f-8a16-6428855643a2.jpg" />
