Please advise us if you have specific requirements for property access, i.e. medical visits, home help, large vehicle deliveries or any other planned work on your property.

Details

The walkway will be closed to public access between 7am and 5pm daily for the duration of the project.

There may be times when vehicle access to properties is temporarily restricted. The contractor will door knock beforehand to allow residents to move vehicles if necessary.

The works may result in increased dust, noise and vibrations. We will try to keep any disruption to a minimum, and we apologise in advance for any inconvenience.

Water supply to your property will be maintained, with a separate notice being given for the shut-off when connecting to the new pipes.
