I am pleased to report that; after a long campaign; flood alleviation works will be taking place on Pencil Brook.
The works will be carried out in two phases, firstly installing a new box culvert within Dunwood Park underneath the existing tennis courts, with phase two seeing the installation of new linear drains, kerbs and carriageway resurfacing on the Woodend Industrial Estate Access Road of Duchess Street.
The works will be starting on Phase 1 on Monday 24th April 2017, with Phase 2 beginning on Monday 15th May 2017, and both phases being completed on Friday 9th June.
To safely carry out the works, the tennis courts and footpaths either side within Dunwood Park will need to be closed with a signed pedestrian diversion being in place for the duration of the works.
Works on the access road will be carried out under traffic management, with the resurfacing works needing a road closure for 5 days from Monday 5th June.
Access to business will be maintained during this closure, however some delays may be experienced.
