Update for Residents

18th May to 1st June

Nine Mile Ride / Old Wokingham Road Roundabout

The works to the roundabout are practically completed except for the street lighting and lit signage. We are pleased to report that the programme has improved for the final items and we are hopeful that the roundabout will be fully completed in June.

Cycleway - Old Wokingham Road to Crowthorne Roundabout

Works to the Crowthorne Roundabout remain on target to be practically complete in late June, with streetlighting to follow in July. The final surfacing to the roundabout will be laid overnight on the 25th & 26th June – the roundabout will be closed during these works. Exact details on timing to be confirmed in a future update.

We anticipate that the construction of the cycleway will commence in early June and be completed by the end of August. Traffic lights will be required during the working day for these works.

Development Access C - north of Hatch Ride

Works to Access C are substantially completed with final surfacing to follow in June.

Toucan Crossing - Access B - north of Hatch Ride

We anticipate the crossing being operational in July subject to the local authority inspections and confirmation of their final requirements. Residents will notice some cones in and around these works until the crossing is operational.

Housebuilding - Phase 1

Our housebuilding works are progressing well with roof construction underway on 10 of our new homes and we have over 100 plots under construction.

We expect our first homes for sale to be completed in the summer.

On site infrastructure

The site infrastructure remains on target to be completed in August.

The access to Crowthorne House has now been temporarily realigned whilst works to demolish an existing bridge and construct the new access from Nine Mile Ride are completed. Residents will notice an increased level of activity around the Nine Mile Ride access.

Temporary electrical shutdown

We are aware that on Monday 21st May SSE will be shutting off electricity for 1 working day to a small number of properties near our Nine Mile Ride entrance. We understand that all the affected residents have been notified of the details directly by SSE.

SANG

The SANG (Country Park) is approaching the first milestone in its completion and final inspection of the first phase will begin in June with the local authority.

Safety & Security

Our 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.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank residents for their patience and understanding with us whilst we complete the highways works. Our team have been working hard to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum at all times.

The next residents update email will be issued in two weeks.
