HRRA members remain in weekly contact with Avant’s commercial manager, Mark Lyon, regarding progress with the High Royds pre-adoption road works. He has asked that we share TWO LOTS of information so residents are aware of the current position. See his note below (1) and please read on for a letter (2).
(1) Avant note:
‘We have today (24th November) issued a Contract Award Letter to Bridgebank for completion of the Yorkshire Water remedials in the ‘phase 1’ area (75 High Royds Drive to the roundabout outside Burnstall Crescent). Once updated health & safety information is received and approved, we can put an order in place to complete the works. We are currently anticipating commencing late next week/early the week after.
‘The works around the street light connections in the same area are also now progressing – we are not in a position yet to confirm when they will be completed but most of the information required to complete the connections/repairs has now been located and the company who will be completing the works for us are liaising with the relevant authorities. As soon as I have any further update on this, I will let you know.’
Kerb stones
Residents will be aware that Phase 2 is well underway with the replacement of damaged kerb stones. This is the stretch of road from Burnstall Crescent as far as the traffic lights on High Royds Drive and also includes a short stretch of Menston Drive up to the bollards plus the short stretch of Ingle Lane up to where road becomes single track.
HRRA do not yet have a timetable from Avant for Phase 3a which includes Guiseley Drive past The Glade as far as 75 High Royds Drive. Phase 3b will then follow along the narrow stretch of Ingle Lane.
Kingsdales and Norwood Avenue
Barratt David Wilson Homes are as yet unable to provide a timetable to HRRA for completing road works on the Kingsdales and Norwood Avenue as we understand that this can work only be undertaken once Leeds City Council are satisfied with the standard of the works that Avant’s contractors carry out on High Royds Drive and Menston Drive.
If you have any specific queries please email hrra@highroyds.org.uk and we will endeavor to assist you.
(2) Avant letter:
Dear Home owner,
Re: Works to the Carriageway
This is a polite notice to inform you that we will be starting remedial works to the foul and the storm drainage, these defects have been highlighted by Yorkshire Water. We will be commencing works on:
Monday 4th December 2023.
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 carriageway during our operations.
We estimate that the remedial works to the drainage runs will take around 2 weeks to complete, weather depending, access and egress may be difficult at times due to the nature of the works.
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
