Southern Water has confirmed the project team have decided to postpone High Street Monxton sewer lining work, in week commencing 31/01/22, on health and safety grounds.

There would have been two separate road closures in place, HCC and Southern Water, in order to complete the work in the High Street. There is a reasonable and justifiable risk that two different sets of diversion / information signs, as you approach the four way junction with Green Lane and Abbotts Ann Road, could cause a driver to become confused and distracted.

There are also two blind turnings as you approach this junction and motorists may find themselves in difficulties, which is something we are keen to avoid.

We will be looking to reschedule these works once HCC are complete and have removed their traffic management and diversion.
