Manchester Road water mains repair to take one month

The South West Community Assembly website reports on some upcoming roadworks on Manchester Road which will cause some disruption. They are due to start on 27 February 2012:

Yorkshire Water will be carrying out at Manchester Road, Sheffield.

This work is being carried out as part of our ongoing schemes to renew water mains throughout Yorkshire in order to help prevent bursts and boost the drinking water quality. This work consists of renewing a section of 4 inch cast iron water main at Manchester Road between Fulwood Road and Tapton House Road which will take approximately one month to complete.

We will be starting work 27 February 2012 at the Junction of Tapton House Road, progressing towards the junction of Sale Hill using 2 way traffic lights for safety. The work between Sale Hill and the junction of Fulwood Road will only be carried out on Sundays or during school holidays using 3 way traffic lights for safety. Traffic lights will be manned at peak times to aid with traffic flow.

More information is on the SWCA website

Dransfield Road street lights could take 30 days to repair

On Saturday 23 April, the Dransfield Road street lights failed to come on.

Street Force were informed and have now got back in touch today to say that the fault is with the underground cable and it could take up to 30 days to repair:

The problem with the street light son Dransfield Road is now caused by a fault on the underground cable network owned and operated by Yorkshire Electricity Distribution Ltd. (YEDL) and has been passed to them. They were notified of the fault (Ref: 261958) yesterday.

YEDL work to repair faults within 30 working days of them receiving notification, however, their priority is to maintain the supply to housing, which in some cases, may mean that street lighting faults take slightly longer to resolve.

Contact will be made with YEDL to try and speed up the investigation and repair of the fault.

In the meantime, drivers and pedestrians are advised to take extra care on Dransfield Road after dark.

Street light problem on Manchester Road

For at least the last 24 hours, a run of street lights have been out on the bottom part of Manchester Road between Broomhill and the Shore Lane junction.

This has resulted in almost pitch black conditions for pedestrians as soon as darkness falls around 5pm. It is not known whether the problems have been caused by the recent works taking place along various points on Manchester Road.

Street Force has been alerted to the problem. Until it is resolved, pedestrians and drivers are advised to take extra care.
