Work is well underway to install the new water lines under the road on Sunderland Street. Due to the southern connections for these new pipes being under the Naylor-Sunderland intersection, this intersection remains closed. We acknowledge this is frustrating.
Especially given this area has been partially closed on and off for several months already while the four footpath buildouts were installed. The idea of temporarily reopening this intersection for short periods of time then reclosing, while tempting, risks adding delay to the overall project which I wish to avoid. However, we will permanently reopen this intersection as early as we can.
The footpath widening work is progressing on Sunderland Street. Proper schist rock has been sourced for new kerbing after it was identified that the material in stock was not suitable to be placed alongside the existing schist rock. In line with this the small section where the unmatching kerb was recently installed will be removed following community feedback.
Come spring (1 September 2024) the Sunderland Street worksite will return to one lane with traffic lights. Come summer (1 December 2024) all cordons and cones will be removed, and two lanes will be open as normal so residents and visitors can enjoy the newly upgraded street.
Thank you to those who attended and engaged constructively with Council on 12 June at the Recharge Bar in Clyde. Many good requests and suggestions were received and are being considered, alongside previous community requests.
- Temporary additional parking space is being investigated.
- Signage that makes it clear which way to the highway is being sourced.
- Additional signage to reinforce that Miners Lane (upper) is No Exit are on order.
- The Lodge Lane lights are being fitted with filters.
- We are adding additional Clyde communication update locations to reach more people, Council website, Central App, social media, and print (The News Noticeboard).
- An improvement to traffic management is being worked on - for benefit across the district. Unfortunately, this will take a while as there are rules and processes to follow.
