While the whole country is affected by the Covid-19 virus, the VA has decided to restrict maintenance work for 2020 to what is regarded the minimum of 'catch-up' necessary repair work, essential replacements and safety matters.
Tenders are being sought for repairs to the partly collapsed block paving footpath linking Weston and Coldstream (running beside the playground), replacing The Village litter bins (many of which are falling apart now), and relaying some of the drainage channels along Brigade Place that have been badly damaged by tree roots.
The VA has also commissioned safety testing and repair of lighting for which it is responsible, in the car park area behind the doctors' surgery and pharmacy. This particular work has been outstanding for some time and the area has been the subject of complaints because of damaged and failed lamps. Controls will be updated and all replacement lamps will be energy efficient.
