Roads Affected

Colby Village – no through traffic route available for duration of gravity pipe installation. Limited residents access only as per advisory signage displayed

Description of Works

We are currently installing a mains sewerage project on behalf of United Utilities at Colby. This scheme will provide residents with the opportunity to connect into a new mains sewerage system which will help to reduce the instances of pollution to local watercourses.

Due to the depth of the excavations required and the large plant and machinery used to lay the new pipes we will work in fenced- off areas approx.100 metres in length. We will need to close short sections of the road to all through traffic. We will reinstate and re-open individual sections of public highway before moving onto the next 100 metre length. Residents will experience times when vehicular access to and from their properties is removed or restricted. Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times.

Local diversion routes will be sign-posted on surrounding roads leading to the village. These signs comply with Highway Authority requirements and are in place to direct all types of vehicular traffic to the recommended alternative routes to enable them to safely avoid our construction areas.

Any other local roads without diversion signage in place may not be suitable for all types of vehicles and are therefore not a Highways Authority approved alternative route around the works. We respectfully advise that you consider the suitability of any non sign-posted alternative route for your type of vehicle prior to its use.

We will do our best to minimise inconvenience to the local community as much as possible. We will also liaise individually with local farmers whilst on site to minimise disruption to their normal working routines and livestock maintenance requirements.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience and co-operation during this essential work to help protect your local environment for future generations.
