Dear Residents
The Parish council have received reports that, the Contractors working on the New Barn Road development site, have been starting work before the agreed time of 8am. This has been addressed with Mersea Homes who have reiterated to those contractors that works on the development site must not commence before 8am.
However, there are no time restrictions in place for the work taking place on the highway so Centaur are starting work at 7.30am to achieve all of the work needed during the allotted road closure timings. Unfortunately, they were also a day late in starting due to the emergency works undertaken by Anglian Water at the top end of The Street. They are therefore trying to make up time in order to minimise the impact of the road closure on nearby residents.
Therefore, whilst the road closure is in place the contractors working on the highway may start at 7.30am so it is likely that you may hear the movement of heavy machinery associated to that road closure work only. If that is not the case and work starts before 8am on the development site, then please do continue to let the Parish council know by email at greatteyparishcouncil@outlook.com
Apologies for the inconvenience that this causes.
