A few people have asked me what the road works on Western Road at the junction with St Johns Road are all about. They are causing considerable delays, especially at peak periods.
I am told that they are emergency works to repair a gas main. Normally, Cornwall Council requires more than a month's notice for major roadworks, but emergency works can take place without this.
I have asked how long the council expects these works to take. I would have expected that 'emergency works' would have seen contractors working into the evening to get the problem fixed as soon as possible. It's very frustrating to see these there are no contractors at work outside 'regular' work hours.
I'll post again when I get an answer.
UPDATE - As Paul (see comments) has said, these works appear to be to replace the old metal gas main with a plastic main. The works in the main road should be ending today (Friday) but the works in St Johns Rd will carry on until mid September. The hours of work are meant to be 0730 until 1700 but the manual control of the traffic lights continues until 1800.
