Lord Street now resembling a “patchwork quilt” says local taxi driver
Furious taxi drivers who have lost hundreds of pounds in business say the road is now even worse.
“They should have just left it as it is” said one driver in a letter to OTS News.
“It looks like a patchwork quilt now and we’ve lost out on hundreds of pounds on Monday night by not being able to use Lord Street.
I don’t know if they’re coming back to do some more but it’s an insult to us all.”
“The patchwork has already sunk – hang your head in shame Cllr John Fairclough“
Lord Street, Southport will undergo essential carriageway maintenance works from June 11, which will last for approximately five days.
Sefton Council’s Highways team will be issuing letters to residents and businesses on Lord Street, to let them know about the upcoming carriageway resurfacing project.
Work is due to commence on Monday June 11 and will take approximately five working days to complete.
The works will take place on isolated areas of the carriageway between Duke Street and Manchester Road.
“Due to the location of the site and the amount of surrounding properties and businesses, we are intending to carry out the works of an evening after 6.30pm to minimise inconvenience and disruption as much as possible.”
It is planned for the night works to end at midnight, followed by a site safety procedure which will be completed on each occasion by 1am.
Pedestrian access to shops and amenities will be available at all times, as well as access for emergency vehicles.
