Business as Usual

Since the closure, businesses in Combe Road have found that people do not know that they are still acessible. There is no problem getting to them. I contacted the Highways Department to ask for signs, but there are no 'off the shelf' signs to tell people that businesses are still functioning as normal, so they had to be made specially. Business as usual signs are now in place at the top and bottom of the Avenue and in Summer Lane.

The latest timetable for the opening of Combe Road is after Christmas and probably around February or March. The removal of the 'pinch point' on North Road is imminent, but we are still waiting for the Firs to be made one way out of the village and for the barriers in Combe Road near the King William to be moved up to the old telephone exchange.
