No sooner had the drainage works been completed at the top of East St Helen Street but work was begun by Southern Electric. That work is still on-going, digging up a lot of the pavements.
Meanwhile in West St Helen Street, the puzzling white markings saying FULR and FULP, reported on this blog some time back, have been replaced by other markings.
Roadworks will soon be moving to West St Helen Street – which is about to be resurfaced.
While the work is in progress the one way system on St Helen’s Wharf Bridge will be removed. It is the week that schools go back and so there could be delays at times.
Near the earlier road works on East St Helen Street… last week Sue Ryder were reported in the Abingdon Herald under the headline “Charity shop hurt by road’s closure“.
Today they will have a Fundraising Day.
CATV = Cable Television
GPRx = Ground Penetrating Radar down to a certain level??
Just to let you know that South Abingdon doesn’t get all the pain – there are similar cryptic markings on the bottom end of Radley Road (from Audlett Drive junction to the VIneyard) and it is due to be closed for a few days from 30 August which should cause a few traffic problems. I think I have seen that the 35 bus is being diverted via Norman Ave but if anyone is planning to use it, it would be worth checking.
At least that one is happening before he schools go back.
I hope the scaffolding on the County Hall will soon be removed and then all will be done and the Sue Rider shop will be able to trade as before.
Incidentally, does anyone know when the Sue Ryder shop first opened and who was there before?
