Copy of letter to local residents.  Also I have also asked that they use the car park on the tram stop side of Beal Lane so as to minimise any impact on those living close by.

I am writing to inform you that essential overnight maintenance work will be taking place at the Beal Lane / Oldham and Rochdale Metrolink line junction, overnight from approximately 10pm on Saturday 24 December.

The work, which will take approximately 24 hours to complete, is being carried out by the Metrolink contractor, M-Pact Thales. As well as the track maintenance work, some repairs to the highway will also be carried out at this time.

While some noise is expected, the workforce will minimise this where possible in accordance with the safe operation of the works. Flood lighting is required but will be directed onto the worksite to minimise disruption.

A signed road diversion will be in place for the duration of this work as follows: Beal Lane, Rochdale Road, Crompton Way, Milnrow Road, Buckstones Road, Hillside Avenue, Grains Road, Beal Lane.

We apologise for any inconvenience this work may cause you.
