We are aware of some concerns being raised about Streets Ahead works continuing on our roads during the Covid-19 outbreak.
Staff heath and public safety remain an absolute priority for the council and we continue to work with all our contractors, including Amey, to ensure that work is delivered in line with government advice and appropriate changes are implemented accordingly.
Currently, Amey is focusing on maintaining an essential service and prioritising emergency and safety critical jobs. These include works such as lining on newly surfaced road junctions to prevent road traffic accidents, maintaining traffic signals and visibility at road junctions, emergency tree works and gritting our roads during colder weather. This work is essential to keep our network in good condition so that key workers and those who still need to travel, can do so safely.
However, the situation is evolving daily and changes are inevitable.
As of today, all our programmed resurfacing work has been suspended until further notice and roadside signs informing of this work are being removed. Emergency surfacing jobs will still go ahead. If you have received a letter from Streets Ahead informing you of work to be carried out, that work will now be cancelled. The works map on our webpage will also be removed during this time to avoid any confusion.
