Got this from Maureen Child

The contractor is intending Sunday working to carry out preparation works to the four corners at the main Portobello High Street junction in advance of surfacing works. Sunday working is required to do this safely because the volume of traffic - pedestrian and vehicules - is lower. Temporary traffic and pedestrian management systems will be installed. Some outstanding grouting outside Victoria Wine will also be undertaken where pedestrian access is tight. The contractor will not commence works before 9:30.

So avoid driving along Porty High Street this Sunday!

Poppy are you sure this has not already been done. Traffic lights and all crossing were upgraded last month. All work is supposed to be completed except for the hole at bus stop(Kitcheners) and in front of Town Hall gate. These holes don't belong to contractors so they can't be filled in until the powers that be say so!!!

Yeah, but not everyone reads the Matters thread - I for one tend to avoid it if things are getting too acrimonious, I have to say.

Me too.

Thanks for info Bob. Like to say I was excited about hearing a drill for an alarm 6 out of 7 days (sometimes 7). Kind of takes the shine of the upgrade of the High Street, when it is still not complete after being started in April.
