DESCRIPTION OF WORKS

• St. James’s Parade will be resurfaced after completion of Manvers Street.  Works will include the stabilisation of the underlying concrete slabs to the north side of the road. These works may take up to three weeks to complete.
• Preliminary works including the temporary removal of part of the traffic island at the junction of St. James’s Parade and Corn Street may be undertaken during the week commencing 1st October 2007. The island will be reinstated when the works to St. James’s Parade are complete.
• A temporary one way system on St. James’s Parade permitting traffic to travel only in the south easterly direction (with associated diversion route) will be in place throughout the works period.
• The resurfacing and slab stabilisation works on the south eastern part of the road will be undertaken between 0800 and 2100 Monday to Sunday inclusive.
• The north western area of St. James’s Parade, where it meets James Street West, (south of the large traffic island), will be resurfaced on Sundays only between the hours of 0800 – 2100.

When this phase of the work is in progress, no traffic will be permitted to enter St. James’s Parade via the section of road between the island and the Hobgoblin Public House. To permit egress from Hot Bath Street during this phase, the one way system along the north of the large traffic island will be revoked, enabling traffic to be diverted either into Westgate Buildings or James Street West. (It should be noted that Stop/Go traffic control will be used at all times during this stage of the works to enable safe egress from Hot Bath Street and safe access to Lower Borough Walls from James Street West).

For safety purposes, during this stage of the works the pedestrian crossing outside of the Hobgoblin will be closed and temporarily re-sited further along St. James’s Parade. 

On-street fliers will be displayed advising drivers who regularly park on St James’s Parade that only very limited parking will be available. Vehicles left parked within the limits of the works area during the advertised works times will be obstructing the works.

Certain operations during the carriageway resurfacing will disrupt access/egress to adjacent properties and your co-operation and patience at these times will be greatly appreciated. Should vehicle movements be necessary, early liaison with the Contractors when they are on site is strongly advised as this can alleviate unnecessary frustration for residents/businesses and delays to the works. Should you have special need for access/egress to your property (e.g. delivery vans, removal vans and the like) please contact Gill Rice on 01225 394172, so that we are able to liaise with you directly.

It should be noted that any dates and times advertised may be subject to change due to adverse weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances.
