A605 Resurfacing & Repairs (At Last)

Scope: Carriageway resurfacing to Eastrea Road between Cemetery Way Roundabout and Tayberry Way Roundabout. Please refer to the attached drawing for exact extents. CCC Streetworks require the works to be undertaken at night due to the amount of traffic the road serves during the day,

Programmed Dates: 27/03/25 – 17/04/25, workings between 20:00 and 06:00. Road to be open during the day, closed at night as per Causeway one.network link.

Noise reduction: There are properties in proximity to the works, on what is already an A road within Cambridgeshire. Although, noisy works will be prioritised for the early hours of the closure as much as possible. This will be undertaken by planers and there won’t be any hard breakout expected, further reducing noise. Site teams will have radio comms which will remove the need for shouting or loud voices over the plant noise on site. Once the noisier works are completed earlier in the night, you can expect there to be the sound of engines running and the reversing beeps of plant. Our contractor is strong at communicating with residents and businesses in the local areas and will be visiting in person to address concerns. This includes setting up communications for those affected to provide suitable accommodations for issues.

The Parish Council and local member have been contacted and are updated monthly. I will also drop letters to residents at least 2 weeks ahead of works. Advanced warning signs will be installed at least 2 weeks ahead of works too.

Latest Planning Application @ CCC – Saxon Works Whittlesey

Today the Planning Committee @ Cambridgeshire County Council will be considering the latest application for Saxon works.

The below information has been sent by The Saxongate Residents Group – which I thank them for their work and keeping residents informed.

The Southern Buttress stabilisation works (CCC/24/078/FUL) planning meeting is due today 05th March at 10am.
It will be possible to watch that by video link.

It will be held at Cambridgeshire County Council New Shire Hall Alconbury. Saxongate have sent in detailed comments.

The works are due to take seven years so the correct level of protection for local residents is very important.

Whittlesey Town Council have recommended refusal pending more information (copy below)
We understand that non-conforming waste has been found in the Southern Buttress but don’t know if that will be part of the planning considerations.

We have attached the meeting invite letter and below is the video link.
The public can arrive on the day to watch the meeting in person.
