Cairns Road: trees will be removed for the delayed resurfacing project

The resurfacing of Cairns Road for the Streets Ahead project has been delayed until the end of September so that some of the road’s trees can be removed.

It was due to take place the week commencing 14 July but inspections have revealed that a number of trees need to be removed because they are causing damage to the road.

This work has been rescheduled for the week commencing 29 September. Residents will be written to nearer the time to confirm dates.

Amey have confirmed that any trees removed from Cairns Road will be replaced.

The newly-constructed water play area in Rivelin is now due to open on Saturday 13 July.

Rivelin Splash was scheduled to open in time for the bank holiday weekend, but a sign has now gone up to confirm the revised date and a celebration event from 10.30am to mark the opening.

The refurbished water play area will be for children of all ages and is designed to be more accessible and inclusive. The water circulation system will be improved and new features such as water jets and sprays will be installed.
