Tales of Crawley Road

The other Crawley Road Closure...We might as well brace ourselves, this is going to be a tricky period up and down Crawley Road.

Anglian Water is proposing to carry out improvements to its foul water network on Crawley Road in Cranford to reduce the risk of flooding to local properties. The £255,000 scheme includes proving a storm overflow from Crawley Road and a storage sewer in the adjacent private field. Construction work is due to start next week (w/c 4th November). The majority of this work will be in private land however, it will be necessary to close the road in order to connect to the existing sewerage system. The road closure will start on Wednesday 27th November 2013 and last for 1 week.

As part of these works the following road closure is anticipated: Crawley Road from outside no. 44 Crawley Road to 50m south of the Pumping Station. The alternative route for vehicles will be signed via Crawley Road– Astwood Road – Bourne-End Road – Broad Green – Crawley Road and vice versa. This will prevent through traffic. Pedestrian access to properties will be maintained at all times.

Anglian Water and its contractor, Barhale Construction, are working closely with Bedfordshire Council and every effort will be made to minimise the disruption to the public.

Hang on a minute - we have Anglian Water & Amey both overlapping work over part of same road. I hope that Anglian aren't going to be digging it up after Amey have just resurfaced it.

Such things can never happen can they? (Did not NTL dig up Crawley road for fibre cables not not long after Beds CC resurfaced it?)
