APPARENT BINTON BRIDGE CLOSURE

A number of villagers have asked about the apparent Binton Bridge closure signs that have appeared recently.

The PC , to my knowledge, have received no formal notification of this work. However, having checked the site below:

http://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/roadworksmap

there appears to be utility work being undertaken by STWA near the Four Alls Public House with two way traffic lights going to be operated - which suggests the bridge is not closed.
The footpath will remain accessible for the entire period.

If l, or the PC , receive any further updates we will inform villagers as soon as is possible.

Appeal for the Offenham Maypole dancers. Numbers of dancers are dwindling for this traditon, more people are needed to dance this Mayday. If extra dancers are not found then there may not be any dancing around the Offenham Maypole. If anyone is interested, that may have some Maypole dancing experience please pm me Fran Holder

LONG MARSTON ROAD UPDATE:

The contractors have just confirmed that the road should be open pm tomorrow as planned.

The tarmac should get laid in the morning and once “cured” the road will be open to traffic.

The MILCOTE ROAD will remain close to traffic until work is completed. Please continue to be patient. Thank you to all those who maintained calm over the last few demanding and stressful days.

Drive carefully.

ROAD CLOSURES UPDATE

The next set of works that will be a point of contention in Welford will be the closure of Long Marston Road (2-6 Feb) and Milcote Road 5- 23 Feb for a sewer connection to the new houses being built near the junction on Milcote Road.

The diversion route for Milcote Road is a long one – this will be particularly impactful for residents of Weston on Avon who need access to Welford/Bidford.

I suspect local lanes will get used as shorts cuts, which will in turn, create further problems to residents who live on these routes
