CPC has received the following message from Highways Design, which we’re sharing with our residents.
As a representative for Swindon Borough Council, I write to inform you of the upcoming ironwork repair works at the entrance to the Great Western Hospital. The work extents can be found attached to this email.
The main purpose of these works is to carry out permanent repairs to the defected ironwork cover within the carriageway. These works were initially planned as part of the recent resurfacing scheme, however the team were only able to carry out a temporary repair within the allocated window due to the discovery of additional repairs necessary.
These works are programmed to commence on Thursday 27th March 2025 for 1 working night between the hours of 20:00 and 05:00. However, this duration may overrun due to uncontrollable circumstances such as plant breakdowns, unfavourable weather conditions or the need to carry out further repairs discovered during the construction works.
Notification signs will be erected in advance by the Contractor to advise the public of when the works will take place. Should delays occur due to unforeseen circumstances, the signs will be updated to show the revised dates and durations accordingly.
Due to the nature of the works and the local environment, the works will be carried out within a temporary partial road closure, to ensure that adequate health & safety is maintained for all parties. Access to and egress from the Hospital will be maintained at all times and dedicated signage will be provided as part of the Traffic Management plan.
Traffic Marshals will be available on site at all times during the works, and will assist in dealing with any access problems or queries that may arise.
If you have a blue badge and will be directly affected by the works please get in touch either via email or phone and let the Council know. A representative will then be in touch shortly to discuss access requirements/arrangements with you.
I would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for your understanding whilst these works are underway to improve Swindon’s highway network.
