Update for Residents

13th July to 27th July

Nine Mile Ride / Old Wokingham Road Roundabout

Our streetlighting contractors have identified a need for some additional parts for the street lights; these are now potentially required before we can complete the final electrical connections and may impact the reinstatement the tarmac.

We are currently discussing options with the local authority that may allow the tarmac reinstatement to progress as per the original programme and we will update residents as soon as more information becomes available.

Cycleway - Old Wokingham Road to Crowthorne Roundabout

The final surfacing to the roundabout is now completed.

The streetlighting forms part of the discussions about final connections and tarmac reinstatement at the Nine Mile Ride roundabout and we will update residents after further discussions with the local authority.

The final section of the cycleway will be completed and surfaced w/c 6th August.

Development Access C - north of Hatch Ride

Final surfacing is scheduled for the 23rd & 24th July. Traffic lights will be required for the two days for the safety of our team.

Toucan Crossing - Access B - Hatch Ride

The toucan crossing is now complete and has been handed to the local authority who will arrange for the crossing to be switched on.

Housebuilding - Phase 1

We now have over 100 homes under construction with properties at various stages of construction from foundation to final decoration. We are now progressing further with estate roads to our phase 1 and starting further foundations.

We are looking forward to welcoming the first new families to Buckler's Park in the summer.

On site infrastructure

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

The realignment of the access to Crowthorne House will be completed in early August and residents will notice the new access to Buckler's Park from Nine Mile Ride progressing in coming weeks.

SANG

The SANG has passed the first milestone in its completion and final inspection of the first phase is continuing 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 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.
