Brown Street and Fort Street

Brown Street is to be closed between King Street and Long Lane for three days from Tuesday for carriageway works. It is remedial work to rectify ponding issues which resulted after the recent resurfacing.
 
I was also pleased to learn that the resurfacing works on Fort Street, between King Street and Fisher Street, are due to  commence on 17th October. This is something I have been waiting to be actioned for quite a while having made a number of requests for pothole repairs there over the last couple of years. On learning of the commencement date I asked whether it would be possible to repair the granolithic concrete pavements at the junction with King Street at the same time as one side in particular is in a very poor state.  The council has agreed to carry out a repair, although it may not happen at the same time as the carriageway works as the application of the granolithic concrete is weather dependent.
