We’ve supported local residents to get the Council to agree to resurfacing works over summer, which should help with noise and vibrations caused by the road’s concrete base.

Works starting 29 July and are expected to complete 6 September. Full details are below.

Cllr Fairclough has been liaising with TfL and bus operators about bus speeds and timetabling.

When we asked Council officers about the impact on parking and access to people’s properties we were told:

“I can advise that, although through traffic will be put on diversion, the closure signage will state ‘Access Only’ so Hartfield Road residents will still be able to enter and park either on or off street, albeit that as the active 75m work zone moves along the street, starting at Graham Road and moving towards Sir Cyril Black Way, they will find that to reach their property they will need to gain access from Kingston Road rather than from Sir Cyril Black Way .

Kingston Road to Graham Road will remain open until the end stage of the works when a further letter will be sent to advise that it needs to be closed for a few days whilst the road is resurfaced down to Kingston Road”.
