Road Resurfacing - Walden Road

Another one planned for next week is Walden Road from Weatherfield Road to Yarnfield Road

The work is scheduled to start during the week of the 17-21 February 2014. It is expected to take up to five days and the crews will be working on site on weekdays between 8am and 6pm. Amey will put signs on the road to confirm the precise start date.

As vehicles can't drive over hot tarmac, the section of the road affected will be closed to all traffic while surfacing is being carried out.

If you require access for medical/personal reasons, you can contact Amey on 0121 303 6644 (option 2), to discuss how access can be arranged. Pedestrian access will be maintained as well as access for emergency vehicles. That number can also be used for any other questions that you might have. 

During working hours, it will not be possible to park on the road. Cars left will have to be removed and this may incur a cost to the registered keeper. There are also likely to be speed and width restrictions while the work is carried out, as well as road closures. 

Sorry for the inconvenience, but this work needs to be done and is usually completed well within the time allocated.

Acocks Green Library Update

The latest information is that the planned date for the building to be handed back is the 19 February, so giving the librarians time to put things back into good order, then we should see the library reopening by the end of February. I'll confirm it all once we have some certainty behind it.

Planning Applications to the 1 February 2014

Just a single for the week before last, plus an update on the re-application for the land behind Eastbourne House on Yardley Road.

2014/00569/PA - 92 Shirley Road, Acocks Green, B27 7NA
Erection of two storey side and rear and single storey front and rear extensions, installation of rear dormer and new pitch roof to existing detached store

Eastbourne House - land off Beeches Road
This application appeared and disappeared a couple of weeks ago. I've investigated this, after concerns were raised by residents. It appears that the planning officer who dealt with the (now lapsed) planning approval back in 2008 noticed some discrepancies over the issue of lost open space, as the plan is to build on the playing fields behind the former private school. Accordingly, the plans were pulled pending the resolution of this matter, but not before some notifications had been sent out to some local residents. Once answers have been obtained, then the public consultation process will start again - probably this week.
