A number of residents and businesses have been contacting me to ask for an update on where things are up to with the works on the railway bridge. I'm pleased to confirm that Cadent Gas completed their repairs to the gas pipe last Wednesday, but we have since been waiting for the utilities company to come out and repair the leaking water pipe, as well as filling the void that has been created by the running water. It is believed that when the utilities company finally arrived on site on Tuesday, a power cable supplying London Road was damaged. Fortunately, Electricity North West have been able to isolate the damaged cable without loss of supply to any of the businesses, although as a result the adjacent lamp column will be temporarily out of action. The utilities company have now promised to work over the weekend, in order to complete their repairs. This is entirely in their hands, but provided they keep their promise, the works to the footpath and road surface will recommence on Monday. I would like to thank CE Highways for committing extra staff to the bridge next week, in an effort to ensure that the work is complete by Monday 3rd September in time for the schools reopening.
