The path on the opposite side of the tennis court is also affected. Works are scheduled to commence on the 15 May 2017 and proceed for 2 weeks.

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.

Another volunteer ranger event is already upon us, this Sunday, 23 April 2017; a week earlier due to other commitments on the 30th – much to John’s delight!
Having successfully completed the fencing on Crow Knowl, and the rebuilding of dry stone walls that were in need of repair, we can now return to the maintenance of the Whitesides’ and or the car park fencing, dependent on the weather on the day. If we decide on Whitesides on the day, wellies would be in good order knowing the wetness of the terrain.
Given the time of the year and current weather forecast (not warm), please ensure you have the appropriate clothing, footwear and a packed lunch if you are up for the day but would again suggest a hot flask of your favourite drink for the morning and plenty of cold drink for the afternoon. I would however ask you to note that any time you can commit to is always gratefully appreciated.
Meantime, if you have any issues that you may wish to discuss prior to Sunday, please do not hesitate to mail or phone me on 07961107860. Look forward to seeing you in the Crompton Moor Car Park ~ 10.30 on Sunday.
May I also ask that you let me know of your intentions so that I can plan the appropriate work load and material for the day Thank you.
Kindest Regards
