Update on Barton Greenways

New Road section has the base layer of tarmac now enabling the road to be opened to traffic. Barriers should be cleared over the next few days with plan to open the road sometime on Monday. There is still work to complete which is mainly street light installation and a top surface. However, the shared pavement will be fine to use as and when guided by the contractors.

The next phase of the project is around the Kings Grove junction. This has been split into several tasks to keep traffic signals to a minimum. New Road will be open across this section to one-way traffic under temporary lights. Works include junction narrowing, tables and a new footpath on the Burwash side. There is also work to complete in front of the houses and at the wood pile.

Your Parish Council continues to have meetings with the GCP and included a walk through the various phases of the works on Wednesday with the GCP and ML project engineer.

As a reminder, High Street (including the slip road at the triangle) is No Parking under a temporary rolling 3-week traffic order. There are notices posted and A-frame signs. We have ordered (on behalf of the GCP) Clear Way No Parking signs to display on lampposts down High Street as there are still cars parking near the Baptist Church. No Parking will continue until all works are complete in the village as construction traffic will still need to use High Street and we want to reduce any further delays to the project.

Plans are available with your Parish Council subject to minor tweaks.
