Update for Residents20th April to 4th MayNine Mile Ride / Old Wokingham Road RoundaboutThe highway improvements phase of the roundabout works are practically completed except for the street lighting, this is expected to be completed in July. Cycleway - Old Wokingham Road to Crowthorne RoundaboutWe are awaiting final agreement to commence the cycleway and hope to be starting work shortly. Works to the Crowthorne Roundabout itself have started and they are expected to last until late June. Traffic management is being used and we are working hard to minimise the need for traffic lights. We will update residents on the timing for temporary traffic lights in a future update. Development Access C - north of Hatch RideWorks to Access C are progressing to programme. We expect to complete the work in late May. Traffic lights will be required for part of these works. Toucan Crossing - Access B - north of Hatch RideThe infrastructure for the Toucan crossing has been installed except for the traffic light head units which are programmed to be completed in May. We anticipate the crossing being operational in July subject to the local authority inspections. Housebuilding - Phase 1Our housebuilding works are progressing well in the better spring weather. We have over 90 plots in various stages of construction, from foundations to internal fit out. In addition, we have commenced construction of further estate roads as part of our phase 1, moving further into the site. On site infrastructureThe site infrastructure continues to focus on completing the final sections of drainage and spine road works and is expected to be completed in August. SANGWorks to the SANG (Country Park) continue to progress very well, targeting completion in late June, ready for review by the local authority. The remaining works focus on planting and installation of various more formal features around the site. Safety & SecurityOur site is patrolled by security including support from a canine team. We would however like to take this opportunity to remind residents that whilst all reasonable precautions are taken, building sites can seem exciting to children but they can be dangerous places. As ever, we would, therefore, ask parents to ensure their children are made aware of the dangers and are instructed not to enter site at any time, unless doing so under the full supervision of our site staff and wearing full personal protection equipment. The next residents update email will be issued in two weeks. |
