Stocklake Link Road (urban)

Highway Improvement Scheme

Bulletin #13 14th July 2016

Dear Residents and Businesses,

With the completion of the new link road, works on site are now focusing on the next phase of

construction. The development of the service road parking bays are now underway and night works on

the Park Street roundabout are planned for w/c 18th July.

There will be full night closures of the Park Street roundabout from 19.00hrs - 06.00hrs on 18th - 22nd

July for resurfacing of the roundabout and approach roads. It is necessary for the work to be undertaken

overnight as the road closures would not be possible during the day due to traffic flows. Noise and

disruption will be kept to a minimum and it has been agreed that the road closures can start from

19.00hrs so that the noisiest works (removal of the existing road surface) can be started as early as

possible. Local businesses, residents and their visitors will have access to their homes and businesses

at all times during the closure but will need to follow diversion routes. Pedestrians and cyclists will also

have access.

The new link road was fully opened to traffic on 22nd June. There was an opening procession of fire

engines along the new road led by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service (BF&RS) to mark the

event.

BF&RS also conducted a road safety demonstration on a section of ‘old Stocklake’ between their station

and Farnborough Close. The event was a training exercise for multiple emergency service personnel

and Councillor Phil Gomm acted as the ‘casualty’ who was rescued from the vehicle.

Construction Phase Plan

NMC have created a new construction phase plan which has been sent out with this bulletin. This plan

demonstrates where works will be happening and on what dates for the conversion of ‘old’ Stocklake

into an access road. Although we are planning on sticking to this plan, please note that this may be

subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances that occur during construction and adverse weather.

Once work to construct the new parking laybys on the North side of existing Stocklake, work will transfer

to the South side of Stocklake closest to the houses. We will be letting residents know, by means of a

letter drop, when work will be taking place immediately outside their house and will be doing our best to

minimise any disruption.

Thank you to all those people who have completed the questionnaire sent out with the previous bulletin.

There is still time to have your say if you haven’t already. The survey will take no more than 5 minutes

to complete and will help to identify areas where we can celebrate best practice/great work and also

seek to further improve in the next phase of works This will also assist us in the design and number of

controlled parking spaces. To take the survey, please click here
