Baschurch level crossing and Ruyton Road closures

Dear Blogger,

My thanks to Paricia Budgen for forwarding this email - the Baschurch roads are as important to Ruyton inhabitants as the Shotatton road to the A5, but rarely do we get information about events which affect us  about our close neighbours in the next village.  Many thanks Patricial

To:  Dear Stakeholders,

As you are aware there was a planned road closure on Ruyton Road, Baschurch
planned 1st - 13th August 2023 which was unfortunately delayed due to an
unforeseen extension required by Network Rail (Station Road,
Baschurch) which caused a direct conflict.

As a result of the Network Rail extension the works being undertaken by TC
Homes and some other relevant utilities was put on hold.

Network Rail have confirmed works are progressing well, they have managed to
install 50% of the crossing last night and a pedestrian walkway. The
remainder of the surface will be installed tonight along with concrete
works, this will leave the highway re-instatement for Thursday night into
Friday morning, it is anticipated to be completed by Friday and road closure
lifted.
 However we must remain cautious should there be any further delays.

It is therefore intended that the road closure due to commence on Ruyton
Road
(TC Homes) on 1st August will now commence on Tuesday 8th August
2023 and finish by Sunday 20th August 2023
.

I would like to request that the arrangements for the additional bus service
being operated by Tanat Valley therefore prepare to commence on Tuesday 8th
August, with final confirmation of this arrangement being sent Friday 4th
August once the closure on Station Road is lifted.

I appreciate this does not provide much time to share information with the
community, but I am hoping this is agreeable to all which will allow us to
ensure works are completed.  I appreciate that the highway network in this
vicinity is extremely busy at present with surfacing works in Ruyton also
being delayed as a knock on effect.

Warm regards,
