Jill, Alan and Hamish received this letter from Transport for London on Monday, 5th March 2012:-

Dear Stakeholder,

A232 Pound Street/High Street, Carshalton Railing replacement works.

I am writing to update you on the progress made on replacing the old heritage-style posts and railings around the ponds and to provide an update on the carriageway resurfacing of the A232 Pound Street and part of Carshalton Road.

Railing Replacement Works

As you may have seen, the new posts and railings are now being installed following the preparation of the brickwork and installation of the concrete foundation around the ponds.   The new posts are designed to shear at the base upon impact allowing for damaged sections to be replaced with less disruption and to minimise any further damage to the wall surrounding the ponds. Unfortunately, due to a number of factors, the expected completion of the works has now slipped back to Sunday 11 March 2012.  This delay was partly due to the cold weather experienced at the beginning of February but has also resulted from additional works not anticipated during the design process. I would like to apologise for the additional inconvenience and disruption that this delay will cause.

Carriageway Works

The A232 Pound Street and Carshalton Road are to be resurfaced between the junctions of North Street and Alma Road.  The works will be undertaken over nine weeknights with sections of road closures and are due to start on the night of Monday 12 March through to Friday 23 March 2012. 

We are also sending this information directly to residents and businesses affected by the works.

Should you require any further information or an update during the delivery of these works please contact our Streets Customer Services department on 0845 305 1234 or via our website at www.tfl.gov.uk/contact.

Yours faithfully,

Mario Constantinou
