Wollerton Water Main Replacement – Phase 2 about to commence

Wollerton Road Closure Map Oct 2018 to March 2019

When Severn Trent Water announced 22 Weeks of Roadworks in Wollerton, Phase Two (on the old A53, Lostford) was scheduled to commence on 7 January 2019. That date is still shown on the relevant page of the STW website.
Today, Roadworks.org has circulated an email alert containing information stating that the second phase of work will now begin on Wednesday, 2nd January. It is not clear if the starting date for Phase Two has been brought forwarded because Phase 1 was completed ahead of schedule, but if local residents were expecting the work not to start this week they should be aware that STW’s plans seem to have changed.
The three notices (here, here and here) all cover the dates of 2 to 15 January, a period when there will be 4 way lights controlling traffic at the junction of Drayton Road, Mill Road and Wood Lane. These will not only inconvenience local residents, but anyone who uses this route to travel between Hodnet and Tern Hill.
