Helmside Road
From Monday 15th January 2024, essential pipe work will begin along Helmside Road. This work is expected to take around 2 months to complete.
Latest update: The road closure on Helmside Road will be removed on Friday 13 March as planned. From 18 March we will begin work at the junction of Burton Road and Oxenholme Road to complete final connections. Our work is expected to take 10 days to complete, temporary traffic lights will be in place during this time.
What will our work involve?
We'll be working in phases starting from the junction of Oxenholme Road and Helmside Road on 15th January 2024, eventually working our way up to toward the junction of Burton Road. You can find further details regarding the phases of our work here.
How may this affect you?
Due to the nature of our work, we will need to temporarily close Helmside Road, to ensure the safety of the team and pedestrians. The type of equipment and machinery we need to use can be disruptive and throughout this time we’ll do all we can to keep any noise to a minimum.
Access: You will still be able to access Helmside Road to get to your home or driveway. However, if you normally park on the road, we may need you to temporarily move your vehicle, just while our team are working. We may need to temporarily fill some of our holes in using a different material, don’t worry this is just short term and we’ll put back all roads and footpaths as they were before.
Bus service changes: Due to the nature of the works, there will be disruption to the local bus services. We are working closely with Stagecoach to try and find a solution to this problem.
All bus stops on Helmside Road will need to be closed for the duration of works, we are looking to put temporary bus stops at the junction of Oxenholme Road and Burton Road to minimise the disruption for residents.
We do understand how inconvenient these types of work can be, and we apologise if our work will cause you any disruption.
As we move through the project, we'll make sure the community are updated and will provide advanced notice of any changes.If you have any queries, please get in touch and quote project number 80064942. We'll be happy to help.
