Town centre roads to be closed in Yeovil

PRINCES Street and Park Road in Yeovil will be closed from 6pm in the evenings towards the end of November in order to carry out road surfacing work.   

There will also be work to create a pedestrian crossing.as part of the Princes Street Enhancement Project.
 
From Monday, November 19, through to Wednesday, November 21, surfacing works will be carried out and from Monday, November 26, through to Wednesday, November 28, a pedestrian crossing at the bottom of Park Road will be installed.
 
The roads will be reopened in the day time as normal. While the road closures are in place, Hendford will be open to allow access to the town centre to be maintained.
 
Throughout the construction work, efforts have been taken to keep disruption to an absolute minimum. Atkins are the contractors who are carrying out the construction on behalf of Somerset County Council.

For information on the construction, or to report any problems during construction please contact Richard Needs on 01823-355199.
 
The implementation of this scheme builds on the proposals set out for Phase Two of the enhancement works. The funding for these works comes from South Somerset District Council’s Area South Committee, Yeovil Vision, Yeovil Town Council and Somerset County Council.
 
Cllr Tony Fife, Area South chairman, said: “We recognise that the road closures are not ideal, but by doing them at night after 6pm we will minimise the disruption for all concerned.

''The completed works will positively enhance the visual impact of the area and ensure that all the businesses and visitors to Princes Street can enjoy the high standards set by the previous highly successful enhancement of the southern end of the street.

''We apologise for any inconvenience caused but it will be kept to an absolute minimum.”
