2015 - Island Roads Arreton Roadworks Bulletin No 7

Island Roads Arreton Roadworks Bulletin No 7

29TH MAY 2015

Introduction

This is the seventh works bulletin for Arreton, in which we try to keep you informed of the latest developments on site. We are pleased to inform you that the weather continues to be kind to us

and there have been no delays during the past week.

By now we hope you have seen a noticeable improvement to the carriageway surface throughout Arreton Village and Hale Common. We also hope you agree the disruption and inconvenience that

you have experienced over the previous weeks have been worth it given the improvements made.

Progress to Date

As explained in Bulletin No 6, works continue to progress well and it is still anticipated to complete

the works mid-June. However as this can still be affected by the weather and material production,

we will hopefully be in a position to give you a more definite completion date in the next Bulletin this time next week.

Phase 5

As planned, phase 5 commenced on the evening of Saturday 23rd May 2015 and is due to complete on Monday 1st June 2015 at approximately 7pm.

Phase 6

Phase 6 is due to commence on the evening of Monday 1st June 2015 from 7pm and as explained earlier we will be sending out an update with the expected completion date next week.

Phases

• Phase 1 - Arreton Cross – Adjacent to property ‘Sun Trap’.

• Phase 2 - Adjacent to property ‘Sun Trap’ to north side of access to Cherry Wood View.

• Phase 3 - South side of Cherrywood View to north side of Hazely Combe.

• Phase 4 - South side of Hazely Combe to Heasley Lane.

• Phase 5 – Heasley Lane to north side of Stickworth Lane.

• Phase 6 – South side of Stickworth Lane to Hale Common.

Footways

Works to resurface the footways have now commenced and are progressing well. These works will

take place between Arreton Community Centre and Heasley Lane and will take approximately 12 days, with the works being undertaken during the day, Monday to Friday. These works will be phased so as not to conflict with the current carriageway reconstruction and resurfacing works so that pedestrian access is maintained at all times throughout Arreton.

Bus Service

As of Sunday 24th May 2015, the shuttle bus servicing Arreton is now accessing Arreton from Arreton Cross up to Hazely Combe and then back to Newport Bus Station, on an hourly service.

How to Contact Us

The best way to contact us is through the Island Roads Hub (01983 822440 or

info@islandroads.com) as this is operated 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. This method allows us

to record any questions and deal with any issues as quickly as we can. As mentioned above,

although we will have personnel on site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, they may not be aware of

any wider issues and they will not be able to answer all enquiries. Alternatively, Owen Ratcliffe at the Post Office is kept up to date with developments on an almost daily basis and is more than happy to assist you if he can. If he can’t help, then he can raise your concerns or questions with the site manager who he is in regular contact with.

Thank You

Island Roads would like to take the opportunity to thank the residents and businesses who have

been directly affected by these works for your ongoing support and cooperation.
