Phase 1
High Royds Residents will do doubt be delighted that the pre pre road adoption work started earlier this year. We were warned it would be a long contract for phase 1 from 75 High Royds Drive to the roundabout with Menston Drive.
HRRA remains in regular contact with Avant’s commercial manager to monitor progress. Unfortunately two issues have arisen which are delaying the project:
A CCTV survey has identified some blocked drains which Yorkshire Water require clearing and repairs prior to the final road surface being applied.This work is currently being priced by Bridgebank.
Secondly, HRRA is advised that Leeds City Council’s lighting contractors have been unable to make the necessary connections and some remedial work is required. This work is currently being arranged and Avant are hopeful of resolving the matter shortly.
Phase 2
This next phase is due to commence possibly as early as today (Nov 7) and Avant advise that Bridgebank has already sent letters to the residents who will be affected by these works. This phase which is expected to take 5 weeks will include a short stretch of Menston Drive and run from the Burnstall Crescent roundabout to just before the traffic lights on High Royds Drive. It will also include a short stretch of Ingle Lane past Newby Court as far as where the road becomes single track.
Phase 3a
This is not yet scheduled but will along Guiseley Drive
Phase 3b
This also has not yet be scheduled but will be the single track stretch of Ingle Lane
Final Road Pre adoption Works
The final pre adoption works on the Kingsdales and Norwood Avenue are primarily the responsibility of Barratt David Wilson Homes (BDWH) . Avant however will be responsible for the road surface at the top of Norwood Avenue and Norwood Fold. This final road pre adoption work will only undertaken once the BDWH works are completed satisfactorily.
Affected residents should have received a copy of the letter below:
Dear Home owner,
Re: Works to the footway & Carriageway
This is a polite notice to inform you that we will be starting final surfacing to the footway & carriageway on
Tuesday 7th November.
We ask if you could be of assistance by not parking on the carriageway during our working day which will be from 8am to 4.30pm. Please be aware of any raised ironworks in the footway & carriageway during our operations.
We estimate that the remedial works and the final surfacing will take around 5 weeks to complete, weather depending, the local authorities have also asked for us to cut back any overhanging or over grown vegetation adjacent to your properties, this is required so the full width of the installed footway from front to back can be used without restriction.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and will keep disruption to an absolute minimum..
Please feel free to contact myself on 07867 454407 if you have any concerns relating to the work being carried out.
Yours faithfully
BRIDGEBANK LTD
