Baschurch road closure delayed

Dear Blogger,

Urgent message forwarded by Lydia Bardsley, Parish Council

Baschurch road closure delayed (originally 1st-13th Aug)

The road closure in Baschurch (originally scheduled for 1st-13th August to connect a water line for the new houses) has been delayed due to an extension request on the Network Rail works which is in direct conflict with this road closure. The Network Rail repair work on the level crossing is currently expected to continue until Friday 4th August, but this is provisional for now, and obviously further discussion is needed between Shropshire Council Streetworks, TC Homes and their contractors etc., to factor in this change to the timeframe, and the potential knock-on effect of other closures in the area (including the Ruyton resurfacing work which was due to follow on immediately after the Baschurch closure came to an end).

As soon as we know more we will update everyone.

Impact on 576 bus

As the Baschurch road closure is not now going ahead on Aug 1st, the 576 bus will follow its normal timetable for the time being. When we have a confirmed start and end date for the Baschurch road closure, we will publish the Tanat Valley shuttle bus timetable (we've just this minute received what should hopefully be the final version).

Please do share this news with anyone you know who uses the 576 bus so they know there will be no change to service for the time being.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Mrs Lydia Bardsley
Clerk to Ruyton XI Towns Parish Council

Information on the bus arrangements during roadworks

Dear Blogger,

Message from Lydia at the Parish Council.

RUYTON XI TOWNS PARISH COUNCIL NEWSLETTER UPDATE

Shuttle buses will connect at Admiral Duncan during Baschurch road closure Ruyton XI Towns Parish Council has been working very hard in the background with both Shropshire Council and the bus operator Tanat Valley Coaches to ensure continuation of the 576 bus service during the forthcoming road closure in Baschurch, from Tues 1st to Sun 13th August. Similar to closures in previous years, there is due to be a shuttle bus running between Oswestry and Baschurch that will terminate at the Admiral Duncan, where passengers will be able to transfer to another shuttle bus running between Baschurch and Shrewsbury. The Parish Council has had confirmation from Shropshire Council Streetworks department that the Oswestry shuttle buses will be able to bypass the closed section of road in Baschurch, in order to connect with the Shrewsbury shuttle at the Admiral Duncan. Tanat Valley Coaches are currently in the process of completing final amends and checks of the revised timetables, and Parish Council representatives have been closely involved in this process to make sure the proposed shuttle service will run smoothly. The Parish Council will publicise the temporary timetables as soon as we are able, but in the meantime we wanted to reassure residents that this is being dealt with as a priority.

IMPORTANT message about road closure in Baschurch

Dear Blogger,

Message from Trevor Allison - many thanks to Trevor for find out this information 

ROAD CLOSURE IN BASCHURCH

Just in case you have not realised, what is officially Ruyton Road past the new houses being built in Baschurch is scheduled to be closed COMPLETELY from Tuesday 1^st August until the 13^th (or earlier if the work is completed) for the installation of a sewer connection to what has already been installed in Church Road, Baschurch. The 'village' route past the Church should be available but NOT to H. G. V.s etc.

To accommodate the Shrewsbury – Baschurch – Ruyton – Oswestry bus service, it is being split into 2 shuttles, the ordinary bus from Shrewsbury to Baschurch and return, and a smaller bus which should be able to use the 'village' route at Baschurch from Oswestry to Baschurch and return. This should, in theory, maintain the through service with a change of bus at the Admiral Duncan in Baschurch. It will mean that some services will run a little later than now, and I will forward more information over the weekend. I intend to attach a 'flyer' to the main bus stops when I am confident that the basic details are fixed; it has taken a lot of work by our Parish Clerk and myself to get this far! Nevertheless, I can envisage problems with traffic using Church Road and Nobold in Baschurch to get round the closure, so people should use that route sparingly or it might be closed completely.

      Once this work is finished then the resurfacing through Ruyton can go ahead, but that is weekdays only between 09.30 and 16.00 supposedly. Obviously, it will NOT be possible to use the B4397 from the A5 to Baschurch during the daytime. We are attempting to find out in which direction the work will be carried out so that the bus service can be adjusted accordingly and people can be informed which way to access properties etc. Sorry the information is so sketchy but getting Shropshire Council to provide details is harder than getting blood out of a stone!

IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT TRAFFIC CALMING PLANS IN RUYTON

Dear Blogger,

IMPORTANT MESSAGE from Lydia Bardsley, Ruyton XI Towns Parish Clerk

ROAD SAFETY AND STREETSCAPE PROJECT FOR RUYTON XI TOWNS

Do please read this message and look at the link to the Shropshire Council to see the plans for traffic calming through the village.

If you don`t lodge your thoughts on these changes, there is no use complaining afterwards! 

RUYTON XI TOWNS PARISH COUNCIL NEWSLETTER UPDATE

CIL project design maps, plans, and artist's impressions now available to view online Shropshire Council has prepared some information on the proposals for the CIL road safety and streetscape project for Ruyton XI Towns. This project is provisionally scheduled to take place during October half term, and is therefore separate to the resurfacing work scheduled to take place from Aug 14th – Sept 8th. More information on the resurfacing work and associated road closures can be found here.  You can find more information about the CIL proposals on the Shropshire Council Community Infrastructure Levy webpage, which includes design maps, streetlighting plans, artists impressions, and some FAQs. It was originally intended that Shropshire Council and WSP officers would attend a public information session in July to talk to residents and answer any questions on these proposals, but unfortunately Shropshire Council has had to postpone the event for the time being. The Parish Council will update residents as soon as we have confirmation of a new date for the public information session. In the meantime, residents are very much encouraged to have a look at the project information on the Shropshire Council website to familiarise yourselves with the proposals. If you have any feedback, comments, or questions, please do email these direct to strategic.highways@shropshire.gov.uk and copy in the Parish Council Clerk at parishclerk@ruytonxitownsparishcouncil.org.uk, as this will help the Parish Council keep track of public opinion on the proposals. If your email requires an answer, then Shropshire Council/WSP will reply to you directly.
