Drainage and highways

As part of the adoption process of some of the roads at Kingsland Gate, WSCC Highways have inspected the S.38 works and have identified other areas over and above what was initially expected that need to be rectified before final kerb remedials and road surfacing can take place. Unfortunately, this has impacted timescales for completing the roads across Kingsland Gate and we have been advised that a further 6 month period is required (taking us to end of May 2025). 

We should stress that Bellway are working hard to get this addressed as quickly as possible, but importantly in a way which means they should not need to revisit Kingsland Gate in the future. We do understand there is frustration that this work is not yet complete, but we are committed to ensuring this remedial work is undertaken correctly.

A plan showing the phasing of this remaining drainage and highways work and associated timings will be released shortly and uploaded here, along with being sent out in a newsletter to all properties at Kingsland Gate.

The first phase of this work has already started on part of Sunningdale Road and is anticipated to be completed by 20 December 2024 before the groundwork team break for Christmas.

As with before, all areas of excavation will be safety fenced and diversions will be in place where through access cannot be maintained. We ask that you are mindful of these and your safety when walking or driving near the works being carried out.

Whilst Owen Groundworks (formerly known as Trinity Groundworks) will endeavour to ensure access to driveways is maintained during these works, in some circumstances this unfortunately may not be possible. Where this may affect you, Trinity will contact you direct (by letter through your door) and advise of alternative parking arrangements and the period of time you will be affected for and/or arrange to discuss your individual access needs. Every effort will be made to keep any disruption to a minimum.
