EKPC continue to liaise with Highways regarding the current issues affecting the Highways. The main updates are listed here.
A16 junction with Old Bollingbroke Road. Numerous large potholes,blocked drains, persistent flooding of the highway and footpath and mud deposits left behind. Highways will be conducting a full specialised CCTV survey of the surrounding drainage network to ascertain the problems and assess what can be done subject to funding.
Fen Lane. Various drains and potholes noted for future works. The extensive hole in the road resulting in the road closure is scheduled for repair week commencing 3rd June. Highways state they will repair the hole, re tarmac, install new French drains to try and keep water off the road, and inspect the existing drainage system.
School Lane. A gulley emptier has completed an extensive clearance of the drains. CCTV was also used to check drains and blockages, poor connections, and roots were identified for improvements. Some of the verge was dug back to reveal drains that had been overgrown for many years.
Blacksmiths Lane. Several drains for clearance. The broken pipe that has been leaking water for the last 2 winters has been repaired by highways. Numerous potholes have been reported and currently allocated out for repair works.
Speed Camera A16. The solar panel no longer works due to cracks accidently received during its transport and installation. Enquiries are ongoing as to any grant opportunities to fund a repair or replacement.
