I had a site meeting this morning with SSE management to discuss their works on Lower Street.

Lower Street will be opening on Monday morning, with traffic light controls as there is still work to carry out on one side of the carriageway as they have major hurdles to overcome- including extremely old multiple service pipes.

Traffic lights are expected for 2-4 weeks.

High Pavement works will then follow.

It’s disappointing that SCC Highways were not able to take the opportunity to resurface this stretch of road during the closure.
