Pavement works in Gray Street start on Monday

A reminder that the kerbing and footway works in Gray Street (Brook Street to King Street) are due to commence on Monday. The businesses and residents received written notification from the council this week.
They were informed that the contractor is Tayside Contracts, assisted by Kilmac Construction. The street will be closed to northbound (King Street to Brook Street) traffic, which will be diverted via King Street/ St Vincent Street and Brook Street. Parking will be suspended on one side of the street for the duration of the works.  Accommodation will be made for disabled parking and servicing of businesses/properties, though delays will be experienced and the council has asked that vehicular traffic movements be kept to a minimum, where possible.  Pedestrian access will be maintained to both sides of the street for the duration of the works.
Arrangements are being made to relocate the bus stop round the corner into King Street for the 6 week period.
It is proposed to start work on the east footway, with the west footway to follow until 8 November when works will stop to allow unrestricted access to the shops and businesses in the lead up to Christmas. Works not completed within this six week period will be constructed in March 2014.
