A letter is in about the delayed crossing works in West Street….
Dear Residents / Traders,
West Street Carshalton – New traffic signal controlled pedestrian crossing outside St. Mary’s Nursery and Infants School
I am writing to let you know about the highway works that will be taking place in West Street in the coming days to install the new pedestrian crossing outside the school. There will be works to disconnect and remove the existing zebra crossing on 16th and Thursday 17th December. It will be necessary to close West Street between the zebra crossing and at the junction with West Street Lane on Thursday 17th December between 9.30am and 2.30pm.
The closure is necessary to allow the contractor to lay the new textured / coloured surface at the crossing point and to replace the junction table at the junction with West Street Lane. The Contractor will try to keep access open to residents at all times.
Once the zebra crossing has been removed there will be a temporary push button traffic signal controlled pedestrian crossing in operation over the Christmas period.
On the 4th January 2016, the contractor will be back on site to install the new traffic signal controlled pedestrian crossing. This work may require the use of temporary traffic management but not a road closure. The new crossing will be completed and in operation by 8th January 2016.
I apologise in advance for any inconvenience this work may cause but I will be working with the contractor to undertake the work as quickly and safely as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Lynn Robinson, Highways and Transport Section
