FURTHER DISRUPTION IN HUNGERFORD
H
ungerford is facing a further term of traffic disruption according to West Berkshire Council Senior Technician Traffic and Road Safety, Bob Bosley. The news follows serious disruption for five hours on Saturday morning after a set of traffic lights were removed and authorities could not immediately be contacted to provide manual traffic direction. The disruption for essential gas work has been continuing since April and has allegedly contributed to an estimated more than £1 million of lost takings to town business and suppliers. Businesses are reported to have been closing almost weekly in the town for financial reasons. Mr Bosley told Hungerford Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday:
“To facilitate the current gas works on Hungerford High Street, the following road closures have been authorised. 1. The Bus/ service road outside of Hungerford Town all, will be closed from 0800 Thursday 28th to 1700 on Friday 29th July. 2. Park Street at its junction with A338 High Street will be closed from 0700 on Saturday 30th to 2100 on Sunday 31st July. A diversion will be signed via the A338, Priory Road, Priory Avenue and Fairview Road. These works are being carried out by Wales and West Utilities and any queries should be addressed to them on 02920 278970 or in emergency 0800 111 999. Engineer dealing with the works is Tim Sheppard.” The extended project time was reported to be until the end of July.
SUMMER SCHOOL ENDS ON SATURDAY
M
arlborough Summer School will end this Saturday, July 30 having run from July 10. Once again, the school, which is run by Marlborough College, has proved an oustanding success with a host of courses. Over and above this, the hundreds of people attending have provided a welcome boost to Marlborough trade in an era of depression.
