An update from the King’s Dyke project team:

We have now completed work on the drainage systems (pictured right) for the portion of road to the north of the railway bridge, which runs up towards the eastern tie-in.

On the same section, we are well underway with the work on the ducts that will house the electrical cabling for the street lighting (pictured left), with completion expected on this element soon.
Any open excavations, such as those pictured, are made safe using appropriate coverings when not being worked on.

Our attention is now shifting to constructing the drainage systems at the western end of the scheme

Today a number of Councillors met to discuse and review next years submission to
Cambs CC for Local Highways Improvements (LHI’s).

A Town Council like ours can submit up to 2 such applications to a value of £15,000 each, the contribition we have to make is 10% of the application.
LHI’s can be ‘Yellow Lines’ – Paths – Road Safety Improvements and Speed Limits to name a few.
Just because an application is made, doesn’t mean it will either be accepted or meet the CCC criteria.
Most LHI’s are at the suggestion of the public/electorate.
