Temporary Road Closure – Dunnings Road

Posted on by Andrew Taylor

Temporary Road Closure – Dunnings Road

West Sussex County Council will shortly make a temporary Traffic Regulation Order that will close Dunnings Road in East Grinstead from its junction with Hurst Farm Road to its junction with Ship Street.

The Order is needed to allow gas mains to be replaced and it will be in force from 26 November 2012 until 20 December 2012.  While the Order is in place access to properties on the affected length or road will be maintained at all times and alternative routes for vehicles will be signed on site.

The road works will take place during normal working hours, however should the project slip the WSCC have agreed to reconsider whether weekend working will be appropriate to ensure that this inconvenience to motorists is reduced as much as possible.

Gas Works – Holtye Road

Posted on by Andrew Taylor

Southern Gas Networks will be laying a new gas main pipe on MSDC owned amenity land at Holtye Road (opposite Mount Noddy Cemetery).

SGN have today advised us that they will be commencing the works on the 8th Oct The work will involve two excavations in the highway and then a new main linking these two excavations will be laid in the grass area.

The highway excavations will not require any traffic management however there is one unknown connection that needs to be planned; if this required traffic management we will be informed.

East Grinstead Station Car Park

Dear Neighbour,

We are working on a project at many of our rail stations to upgrade our existing car parks to help meet the growing demand in passenger numbers on the railway. We are planning to improve the car park at East Grinstead station by increasing the number of spaces by around 110.

We plan to do this by installing a single deck on part of the main car park. This deck will be prefabricated off-site with the actual construction on-site kept to a minimum, reducing potential noise and/or disruption.

We have undertaken traffic and footfall surveys to understand how car park users are accessing our stations. We hope that these changes to the car park at East Grinstead will help encourage station users to park in the car park rather than in the surrounding area.

If you would like to see the plans and discuss the project in more detail with our project managers, please drop by at our ‘Meet the Project Managers’ session in East Grinstead main station car park on Thursday 20 September anytime between 1630 and 2000.

Otherwise please contact us by email at carparkextensions@southernrailway.com

Currently we plan to continue with design up to the end of 2012 and be on site in mid January 2013.

I would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause you but you can be assured that we will do everything we can to ensure you are not disturbed by the work.

Kind regards,

Andy Latimer
Southern Project Manager

Please see below for information details of surface dressing sites recently identified for works and scheduled to take place in the next week or so.

Please be aware that dates quoted are only proposed dates, and could be subject to change if the programme is delayed – for example if bad weather meant the works could not be carried out as planned.

WSCC have indicated that the works will be Saturday morning 5.00AM – 8.00AM maximum. While there should be some noise from the machinery,  the crew will attempt to keep this to the minimum, the time was chosen due to the wish to reduce the impact on surrounding roads.
