City of York Council is to carry out patching repairs to the carriageway on Salisbury Terrace in the week beginning 9th November. The programmed start date for the work is 10th November. The works are programmed to take approximately 2 days to complete, working weekdays only between 09:00 and 16:00. The areas affected are shown on the plan on the reverse of this letter.
In order to carry out these works safely, the road will be closed to all vehicles. There will be a diversion route in place each day until the works have been completed, at which time the road will be reopened to traffic.
Buses will not be able to service this area – an alternative route will be arranged by the bus companies.
Due to the nature of the works and the size and quantity of machinery required to carry out the works, it will not always be possible for residents to gain vehicular access to their properties.
Parking on Salisbury Terrace will be suspended for the duration of the works
Pedestrian access will be available at all times where possible. Cyclists will have to dismount and use the footways when travelling through the affected areas.

The Westfield Lib Dem team has been pressing council officers to have the road resurfaced at the Cornlands Road/Gale Lane roundabout.
This is now happening on 9th November.
There has been some delay to the timescale that the team had been first told about, and we are inve
stigating what has gone one in this case.
However, the issue, which had also been raised by the local Cornlands and Lowfields Residents Association looks like coming to a conclusion, and the surface made safe for car users, and in particular cyclists.
On the day of the road repairs traffic will be diverted along Gale Lane and Askham Lane.
The first phase of works started this week on Jockey Lane, leading to Monks Cross, which is programmed to last up to six weeks.
Works involve modifications to the kerb lines and improvements to the southern footway between The Range store and Sainsbury’s, which will widen the footway to accommodate shared use by cyclists and pedestrians. A new zebra crossing will also be introduced near the Sainsbury’s store entrance.

A major milestone in the Walmgate Bar restoration project will take place on Thursday when a mobile crane will hoist the replacement balustrade rail and roof-top decking sections into position.To allow the crane to be in position Walmgate bar will be closed to through traffic from 8am – 8pm on Thursday 24 September.
Signed diversions will be in place for motorists. Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the works.
The works form part of a £100,000 project to restore the gatehouse which started last year. This includes the installation of a unique system which will support the timber-framed extension should either or both columns be struck by a vehicle, repair works to the roof, including restoration of the balustrade and windows, and re-rendering the timber-framed extension.
John Oxley, City Archaeologist, said: “The restoration programme at Walmgate Bar has two main aims: to ensure the continued structural stability of this wonderful building; and to put in features which will allow for the first time safe access for the general public to the roof and Barbican. You can now walk around and sit on the Barbican. Soon you will be able to enjoy the view form the roof!”
As with any construction work, there is likely to be a certain amount of disruption. Residents are assured that everything reasonably possible will be done to keep this to a minimum, however motorists should expect some delays and plan their journey accordingly.
The City Walls are open every day from 8am to dusk. To find out more about the Walls or about the Walmgate Bar project visit:www.york.gov.uk/citywalls
Work has stared on replacing a sewer in Micklegate. The work is expected to last for 10 weeks.
It comes only two years after the last major closure on the street, when gas main repairs brought major delays and inconvenience to neighbouring shops and their customers. Many of the shops depend on passing trade and on street car parking space availability can be limited by works.
A Freedom of Information request has revealed that Micklegate has been either been fully or partially closed on 26 occasions during the last 5 years.
Some of these closures have been caused by “special events”, such as the visit of the Queen, but most can be traced to utility works.
Special events are responsible for some closures
In total there have been restrictions in place for 250 days, of which 14 have been due to the activities of Yorkshire Water or their contractors.
Yorkshire Water will now close part of the street for 70 days to allow for the sewer repair.
It seems a shame that, with the repairs to the gas main still sharp in the memory, the utilities couldn’t have coordinated their projects more closely.
One of the problems on the street is that part of the surface of the carriageway contains traditional cobbled setts, which take longer to reinstate.

As with any maintenance work on roads, there is likely to be a certain amount of disruption. Residents are assured that everything reasonably possible will be done to keep this to a minimum; however motorists should expect some delays and plan their journey accordingly.

The work will aim to reduce the amount of ‘overshoot’ accidents where drivers on Hallcroft Lane may not realise they are approaching a crossroad junction and fail to give way to traffic on Manor Heath. This has lead to a number of serious incidents at the junction.
The work will see the Hallcroft Lane section of the junction widened to allow a pedestrian island to be included. Coloured surfacing will also be used to help road users differentiate between the major and minor roads. Signage in the area will also be improved.
The work is scheduled to take three weeks to complete, with work starting on Monday 7 September. Work will take place Monday to Friday between 8.30am – 4.30pm during the first two weeks. Traffic will be managed by stop/go signals with no alterations to the bus service. This will be carried out by City of York Council.
During the third week whilst resurfacing is taking place a temporary full road closure will be in place on Hallcroft Lane from the Horseman Lane junction to the Manor Heath junction. The road will be closed between 9:15am and 4:15pm. An alternative route for diverted traffic will be signed via Horseman Lane, School Lane, Manor Heath.
Additionally to carry out the surfacing work at the junction of Manor Heath / Hallcroft Lane and Hagg Lane a temporary full road closure will be in place at the junction between 6:00pm and midnight on Wednesday 23 and Thursday 24 September. An alternative route for diverted traffic will be signed.
