Grange Road
Gas Mains Works
to Overrun by 3-4 Months
Surrey County Council has informed
us that the replacement gas mains
work on Grange Road is running
significantly behind schedule.
Southern
Gas Network (SGN) estimate that
there is a further 3-4 months of
work to do, which could delay
completion to the end of the year.
The programme is approximately as
follows:
1) By
the time school term starts the
works will be clear of Northmead
School entrance. The one-way system
will operate between Northmead
School and the Stoughton Road
crossroads. North of Northmead
School Grange Road will be two-way.
2) During
September and October, SGN will work
southwards towards Stoughton Road
crossroads.
3) There
are significant works to do at the
Stoughton Road crossroads itself, to
connect the new main running down
Grange Road to existing mains in
Stoughton Road - most of these works
will be managed using the existing
permanent traffic signals - however
there is approximately 1 week's work
to cross the junction itself, which
will be managed under temporary
4-way traffic signals - this latter
element is by far the most
disruptive, and so is programmed for
half term.
4) After
half-term, there is a further 150m
long section of main to lay in
Grange Road, in the section between
Harts Gardens and Railton Road -
this will be done using temporary
two-way traffic signals.
5) Again
after half term, there will be works
in side roads adjoining Grange Road.
Your
association and your councillors are
seeking a meeting with SGN in an
attempt to reduce the current impact
of these road works.
