Westerleigh Road Houses to be renovated

Combe Road is now likely to be closed until June or July, so I asked whether these houses in Westerleigh Road can be given a clean bill of health before this time - it was thought that Westerleigh Road would need to be closed for the infill to be checked and obviously this would have created great problems with Combe Road closed too. I have today received the following positive reply from Jess Bowden of the Stone Mines Project Team:

"I have spoken to the project managers about the topping up in Westerleigh Road and have been advised that an alternative approach has been agreed so that the area can be topped up without lengthy closure of the road. It is intended that this work will be done after bulk pours nearby are finished - this is likely to be in the next couple of weeks. The best estimate the project managers have at the moment is that, providing nothing unexpected happens, by the end of February they should be in a position to say there is no further work required. I have been promised updates on this work as it happens".

I have passed this information on to Somer Housing so that they can plan the renovation of these badly needed houses.
