Wales and West have an unexpected technical problem with their works. The original Victorian cast iron gas pipes have bends which would make it difficult for them to complete their works without a total closure of Shaftesbury Road.
A compromise solution has been found which will mean that they will dig an extra 10 metres along one side of Shaftesbury Road as far as Third Avenue. This will enable access to be maintained to Moorland Road for deliveries and disabled drivers.
Will and David support this solution and have asked that Wales and West communicate with those homes and businesses effected by the change.
A resident on St. Kilda’s Road is using the temporary parking restriction markings, now not in use and not properly erased, as an excuse to leave notes on cars telling them that they are in ‘non-parking’ spaces. It seems that someone has also resprayed some of the parking restrictions outside the Chinese Takeaway to reinstate them.Wales and West need to resolve this urgently by fully removing the temporary road markings.
