Road closures in Ruyton XI Towns - a complete mystery

Dear Blogger

I am hoping SOMEONE - Parish Council or Robert Jones Ruyton and Baschurch County Councillor, can sort out the road closures in Ruyton.

I received this from a Mailing list member on Tuesday

In connection with this, (changing the Zebra Crossing to a Puffin Crossing) have you seen the road closure notice for 4 days in April? There is also an additional 11days scheduled in May if you look on the shropshire council website

    https://next.shropshire.gov.uk/roads-and-highways/roadworks-road-closures-and-events/interactive-roadwork-map-all-works/


I checked out closure of Platt Bridge on 30th and 31st March - no times given
 and 
 road closure in Church Street on 7th - 10th April from 9.30am to 3.30pm

Also, 7th to 17th April appears to be COMPLETE CLOSURE of Church Street

Conversion of Zebra crossing to Puffin crossing. Removal of redundant equipment, installation of TS controller, retention sockets, poles, feeder pillar and associated TS equipment. Civils to excavate road crossing during week1 under closure. Peds to have alternative route during footway works. . . . . . .
Footway closure: Alternative route will be provided

    However, I could not find anything about road closure for 11 days in May.

Yesterday, Saturday I asked my original Mailing List correspondent to confirm and got the reply

Have just logged back in to the interactive map and the May dates seem to have been removed. It was showing 11-22 may, but there must have been a rethink. Who knows with the council!

This morning, Sunday, the council website says

Church Street closed April 7th - 10th, 9.30 to 3.30 for conversion of Zebra to Puffin crossing.

and

Church Street April 7th to 17th complete closure.

ALSO,
Coming through the village on Friday, the sign in the village is saying the road will be closed for 3 weeks!! This sign has been put face down a couple of times -  a bit heavy for the wind.
     

I understand the bus company have not been told where or when they can come through Ruyton XI Towns.

If I hear of any useful information about road closures in Ruyton XI Towns,

if only I could find someone with any ability to communicate, I will let you know.

Living in Hopes,
Yoland
