Parish Council Receives Update from Cormac on Upcoming Surfacing Works

St Dennis Parish Council has been in contact with Cormac following a number of enquiries from residents regarding the upcoming surfacing works on Carne Hill and Trelavour Road.

Cormac has confirmed that these essential highway maintenance works are being undertaken to improve the condition of the carriageway. Whilst every effort will be made to minimise disruption, some temporary restrictions will be necessary to allow the works to be completed safely and efficiently.

They have advised the following:

Parking Arrangements

Cormac has advised that vehicles will need to be removed from sections of road where surfacing operations are taking place. Unfortunately, no dedicated temporary parking areas will be provided during the works.

Residents are therefore encouraged to make use of any available unrestricted parking on neighbouring roads where possible.

Refuse and Recycling Collections

We have been advised that refuse and recycling collections will continue throughout the duration of the works.

Where collection vehicles are unable to access a particular section of road, alternative arrangements will be put in place. Residents may be asked to present their bins at an agreed collection point to ensure collections can still be made.

Access to Hall Road

A number of residents have raised concerns regarding access to Hall Road and surrounding properties.

Cormac has advised that every effort will be made to maintain access wherever it is safe and practical to do so. However, there will be periods during the surfacing operation when vehicle access may not be possible, particularly while new surfacing materials are being laid and allowed to cool. Pedestrian access will be maintained wherever it is safe to do so.

Temporary Access Restrictions

Cormac has indicated that any access restrictions are expected to be short in duration and will only be implemented when operationally necessary.

Site staff and traffic management operatives will work with residents to accommodate access requirements wherever possible. Residents with specific needs, such as medical appointments, care visits or other essential journeys, are encouraged to speak directly with the traffic management team on site, who will do their best to assist where it is safe to do so.

Weather Dependent Works

As with all surfacing projects, the programme remains weather dependent and may be subject to change if conditions become unsuitable for the works to proceed.
