Update for Residents

23rd February 2018

 

Community Co-ordinator

As part of our commitment to the local community around Buckler's Park, our partners at Social Value Portal are recruiting a Community Co-ordinator, details of which are below.

 

Development Access A - near Ellis Road

Access A is now substantially completed; the tarmac surface will follow on after the completion of some service connections in early Spring.

 

Cycleway - Old Wokingham Road to Crowthorne Roundabout

We have commenced construction of the new cycleway from our development along Old Wokingham Road to the Crowthorne roundabout. 

The first stage of this work is to lay some new service ducting along Old Wokingham Road and clear space for the cycleway. To allow us to complete these works safely, traffic lights will be in place during working hours, until late Spring.

The ducting is expected to be completed in late March and we will then commence the works to form the cycleway.

 

Development Access C - north of Hatch Ride

We remain on target to commence Access C in late March once the Nine Mile Ride/Old Wokingham Road roundabout is completed. These works are expected to last until mid Summer.

 

Nine Mile Ride / Old Wokingham Road Roundabout

The highway improvements phase of the roundabout work is progressing well with a date for resurfacing set for the 19th March. Due to the nature of the resurfacing and the safety of our team, this work will be carried out at night to allow a road closure. We are currently discussing exact timings and will provide further details in the next update.

 

Housebuilding – Phase 1

The construction continues and superstructure build on our show homes is now at 1st floor level and further plots have commenced. Our contractors are now well advanced with the spine road construction and associated infrastructure.

 

On site infrastructure

The last section of the development’s spine road is well underway and we expect it to be completed in early Summer. 

During the next two weeks we will be laying new pipework to connect Buckler’s Park to mains drainage. Residents may notice increased activity within our site near Pinewood Roundabout.

 

Nine Mile Ride / Crowthorne House

The superstructure build on our show homes is now progressing towards the first roof and we have approximately 50 further plots under construction in our Phase 1 area. We expect the first roofs to be completed in late March.

 

SANG

Works to the SANG continue with the construction of footpaths (see above) and top soiling of landscaped areas now well progressed. As the better weather approaches our contractors will be carrying out further planting and seeding of landscaped areas.

 

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.  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.
