and a triple yellow line the other. I checked the Highway Code but could not find triple yellow lines.

High Street Hole moves

The large hole that unearthed an old coal cellar under the High Street pavement has been filled in. The pavement has been made as good as new – possibly better.

Alongside another hole has been dug, not quite as deep as the first. Traffic passes in single file at this point, and buses cannot use the High Street bus stops for the third or fourth week in a row.

Stert Street Culvert Repairs completed

The barriers have gone from the top end of Stert Street. It looks as if the Culvert Repairs have been finally completed.

Just a few signs remain in Old Station Yard. The final part of the work took 8 weeks approximately.
Protective barriers have been there since December 2011. So the project took 4 years and 3 months.
