Chris bats for local residents over night works in Victoria Street

Chris White has taken up the cudgels on behalf of local residents in relation to the county council’s planned roadworks in Victoria Street, due take place at night in the week commencing 29 September.

Chris said: ‘I could barely believe my eyes when I saw the proposal – working from 8pm until 5am in a street which has numerous residential properties.

‘I have so far been reassured that there won’t be any jack hammering after midnight. I am sure the school age children will find that a great help.

‘Then excuse is that it is “heavily trafficked”. Yes: it does have traffic but nowhere near as much as London Road or Hatfield Road, for instance.

‘Residents will be forced to leave their homes unless the county council reschedules these works.’

Chris has vowed to keep pressing for a switch to daytime working outside of rush hour periods.
