Here is the agenda for next Thursday’s Parish Council Meeting at 7.30 pm, 28th July, 2022. This is a public
Temporary Road Closure of Newton Road, Newton
15th August 2022 to 2nd September 2022
USEFUL INFORMATION FROM THE PARISH COUNCIL
Buses
It will not be possible for buses to follow their normal route. Severn Trent Water will ensure that the company is aware.
A reminder that Warwickshire Rural Community Council offer the ‘Back and 4th Dial a Ride’ minibus service into Rugby. To enquire about booking, call 01788 226000.
Refuse Collections
Rugby Borough Council have confirmed that collections will take place on the usual Monday collection day.
However, it may not be possible for the refuse freighter to access Pilgrims Lane. Therefore, residents are asked to put their bins at the Newton Road end of the Lane for collection.
Access to The Orchards may have to be via Silver Street, which is tight for a freighter. Residents (and those using the Village Hall) are asked to not park in Silver Street during the time Newton Road is closed.
Emergency Services
Parish Council Chair, Ian Davis, has met with PCSO Tony Winter to ensure that emergency services are aware of the road closure.
Temporary parking restrictions (police ‘No Waiting’ bollards) will be needed. Tony will get these delivered to the Village Hall next week for use when the road closure starts. They will prevent parking in Silver Street, part of the head of The Orchards and on a short stretch of Main Street (to ensure a swept path is available for large vehicles turning into Silver Street).
Urgent visits / carers visits
The water main is in the middle of Newton Road so the road must be closed and there is no possibility of vehicles being able to creep through. If anybody has urgent need for visits (from carers for example) then they should ensure that the provider is aware so that alternative arrangements can be made.
Royal Mail
The Post Office is aware and will maintain deliveries.
Other
The ‘development in the area’ mentioned in the letter is the Alcohol Distillery which has planning permission on Europark and is a very heavy consumer of water.
