Got this email the other day regarding High Street West:
Dear all,
HIGH STREET WEST PROJECT UPDATE
Please note that due to a number of unforeseen circumstances, works to High Street West will not be completed by the end of October 2016, as originally planned.
During the course of the project to date, the team has uncovered a number of unrecorded utility pipes and cables, which were not present on plans provided.
These take additional time to work around and make safe, which affects the overall timescales for the project.
We are keen to minimise disruption to traders as much as possible and in particular to avoid any impact on the Christmas trading period.
To minimise the risk of an overrun into the peak period, we intend to make the site safe and remove all works equipment at the beginning of November. There will be full access along High Street West over the Christmas period, and the contractors will return to site to complete works in early 2017.
