Update on Proposed Works at Bull Bridge

2nd of December, 2020

In response to the parish council email chasing for a date when proposed works at Bull Bridge would commence, we have received the following response from LCC.

Thank you for your email regarding the Bull Bridge in Sabden.

There are difficulties with the lining crews at the current time due to Covid-19.

It is difficult to give a meaningful timescale for the sign improvement works.

We have not yet designed and ordered the special cranked posts required, but have done some preliminary design work on the sign layout to facilitate this order and acquired site measurements to place a works order.

The manufacture of posts can take a number of weeks and we are not in a position to know the affect that Covid-19 might have on the ability of the manufacturer to produce and deliver the signs.

We expect to get the sign plates ordered in the next few days and place an order for the posts.

We do not know if they have any staff off at this time or what our street lighting team's priorities will be when the posts and signs are ready.

We could well be into January before anything appears on site.

The Parish Council will continue to pursue until works take place.
