Brook Street pavement reconstruction works

I have previously reported that the pavement on the south of Brook Street between Lawrence Street and Brown Street is to be resurfaced early in the New Year. I have now been notified that work is programmed to commence on Wednesday 15 January 2014 and will last for approximately 2 weeks.  This footway reconstruction is most welcome as it is a very busy location and I get a lot of complaints about its condition. The contractor for the works is Tayside Contracts.
 
The council has issued a letter to the owner/occupiers of the nearby properties advising them of the arrangements. It indicates that in the interest of public safety a one way closure is to be implemented and westbound vehicular traffic will be diverted via Fort Street, King Street and Church Street for the duration of the works.
 
On street parking directly adjacent to the works will be closed but parking will still be allowed on the north side of Brook Street. Vehicular, delivery access will be maintained to properties, although vehicular traffic movements are requested to be kept to a minimum and minor delays may be encountered during some phases of the works.
 
 Pedestrian thoroughfare will be maintained throughout the works.
