What we are doing

Overnight utility surveys on Scrubs Lane
We will be carrying out overnight drainage surveys on Scrubs Lane in two separate locations.

Please see the map shown on the map on the following page.

Works will take place on Scrubs Lane during the following dates and times:
• 28 February overnight, between 9pm and 6am
• 01 March overnight, between 9pm and 6am
• 02 March overnight, between 9pm and 6am
• 03 March overnight, between 9pm and 6am
• 04 March overnight, between 9pm and 6am

These surveys will help us understand the condition of the drainage system in the area and how to best protect them during the construction of the new railway.

We will investigate the condition of the sewer system using a camera and may need to flush the drainage using a high-pressure water jet if any blockages are found. You may notice additional noise during this activity. We will continuously monitor our working methods to ensure any noise is kept to a minimum.
Your utility services will not be affected during these works
Temporary changes will be in place on Scrubs Lane during the surveys.

Temporary road changes on Scrubs Lane
To carry out these works safely, there will be an overnight lane and footpath closure on Scrubs Lane in the following locations:
• between 253 Scrubs Lane and UK Tyres
• between Big Yellow Storage and the railway bridge

You will still be able to drive and walk along Scrubs Lane but there will be temporary traffic lights to aid traffic flow. Alternative pedestrian crossings and walkways will be clearly signed overnight during these works. Access to local businesses will not be impacted as the traffic management will be removed during working hours.
