TFVCS have just heard from Plymouth Highways that whole scheme has been thrown out. There will be a meeting on Tuesday to revise it with no complete blockages of the road. So no (or not much) problems.
They are dealing with 27 complaints already!
Members of the Tamerton Foliot Village Conservation Society have become aware of a planned two-week road closure between Cann House Corner and Riverside Walk, with a diversion via the Plessey Roundabout and Roborough Lane (as listed on the Plymouth City Council roadworks page).
We are actively seeking clarification from both South West Water and Plymouth City Council Highways regarding the scope, impact, and traffic management plans for this closure. Concerns have been raised about the potential effect on local traffic, including possible disruption on Church Row Lane.
TFVCS is in contact with the relevant bodies and will provide further updates as information becomes available.
SWW and their contractors have finally begun work on the upgrade of an Electroslide at Haysend Farm Sewerage Works. An Electroslide reduces flow rates backing the excess into a storage tank until it can be released without flooding.
The other task is that the sewerage pipes close to the Church and beyond downstream need cleaning and as a consequence of this there will be traffic lights by the Church and a road closure (Millford Lane) starting in early June. This appears to be a back up from the point where the southern sewer meets the TF sewer, then continuing to the works at Ernesettle.
