STOP PRESS** FOOPA Update on Lighting and Paving Renewal 6th Feb. 2009 **STOP PRESS**
As you will know Colas have initiated a project to refurbish the lighting (some of which is over 40 years old) and paving in Old Portsmouth. The first phase of this to replace lighting in the High Street unfortunately got off to a false start with poor and late communication to residents and also some new lamp-posts being badly sited. We have had discussions with the Council and this note is to update you.
Lighting
- Those posts incorrectly sited have been moved.
- We need more lamp-posts to comply with lighting standards and this means
there are posts in new positions. If you think a post could have been better sited by moving it slightly, then it probably couldn't be done due to the underground services, water, gas, electricity etc.
- Other streets will follow on after the High Street. (See Appendix A).
- When the lamp-posts are finished they will be in keeping and similar to some existing in this conservation area. Although the project is considering addressing the odd anomaly of style, the economics are such that this project is not designed to make all the lamp-posts in Old Portsmouth look the same.
- If tarmac is used at the base of the new lamp-posts, this is a temporary measure and the area will be made good as part of a re-paving project which will start when the lighting work is complete.
Paving
- Wherever possible existing paving will remain untouched or be re-laid. Colas have been asked to retain Granite and stone kerbs, wherever possible, even where the paving will be re-laid using Marshall Saxon paving (examples of which are outside the RNC & RAYC).
- Whilst new paving (to replace broken ones) will probably look different from the historic ones, attempts to match them will be made using one of two types of natural stone paving. These will be available shortly for you to view outside the Garrison Church.
- Where concrete paving exists then this will be replaced by Saxon paving.
- The paving project will cover a number of roads in Old Portsmouth (Appendix B), and the project should be complete before the end of 2009.
Trial Excavations and Cellar Inspections
Before the paving project can start then even more holes will be dug - and be made good the same day. These are necessary for Colas to confirm what lies beneath and also to investigate the best way of taking up the old paving stones consistent with least damage. Again this may result in temporary tarmac. Colas will shortly be carrying out a letter drop to certain properties in the High Street to advise them of the trial excavations. They will also letter drop those properties with cellars in all of the affected roads to ask permission to carry out a condition survey of the cellar prior to the commencement of the works.
Summary
As you may be aware the project has already uncovered an unexpected tunnel and I doubt if that will be the only surprise. However now that we're aware of what is planned I think we feel more able to see things get worse in the short term - in the expectation that the end result will be an improvement. Any feedback re the letter drop please use the Colas contact in the letter.
