Polecat Road repairs

Notification received from Keir

Remedial works on Polecat Road, Cressing

We run the electricity network delivering power to your area and recently carried out work to install pipework for new electricity cables as part of our ongoing investment in the network to maintain reliable power supplies.

We will be returning for the day on 1 February from 8am to 6pm to relay tarmac in part of the road.

To complete the work safely, traffic lights will be in place to create a safe working zone for our team.

There will be some noise from the digging activities during these works, and you will see members of our team working behind safety barriers.

Access to all affected properties along the route will continue to be maintained at all times. For local refuse collection services, there will be no changes to collection days and access for these vehicles will be permitted throughout the work

We have worked closely with the local authority in planning these works to minimise disruption to the local community wherever possible.
