Sections of West St Helen Street were re-tarmacked last Friday.

The longest section of new tarmac was down near St Helen’s Church.

This Thursday the paving machine was back laying fresh tarmac along East St Helen Street. A couple of rollers smoothed the surface.

The work was along a stretch of carriageway at the lower end of the street, not including the residents parking.

Traffic was kept off the road, giving pedestrians a rare chance to see East St Helen Street without cars.
