Pincroft Lane Roadworks

Wiltshire Council advises carriageway repair works programmed on UC PINCROFT LANE, WINTERSLOW.

The site extents can be viewed on the drawings in the Documents section. These works involve KielyLock, reinstatement of road markings and associated maintenance works.

The works will commence on Thursday the 27th of June 2024 and will be completed by Saturday the 29th of June 2024 between the hours of 07:00 and 19:00, however on occasions they may over run due to uncontrollable circumstances such as plant breakdowns, if weather conditions are unfavourable, or occasionally the discover the need for additional repairs once the work has started.

There will be advance information signs erected on site giving confirmed start dates.

Due to the nature of the works and the local environment, the works will be carried out within a temporary road closure, to ensure that adequate health and safety is maintained for the contractor and local residents. Road Markings and Ironwork adjustments may need to be completed at a later date.

The main diversion route for all ‘through’ traffic whilst works are being undertaken within the road closure will be as per the road diversion drawing.

The Contractor will maintain pedestrian access for residents for the duration of the works; but depending upon what operation is being undertaken and where it’s being undertaken residents may find that when accessing or egressing from their property in their vehicle, they may experience a delay and have to wait for plant to be moved out of the carriageway. WCC has suggested to residents that when leaving their property, to allow extra time for any possible delays and when returning to their property, there will be traffic management operatives located at the extents of the works, to speak to them, explain where they live, and they will be able to assist.

There will be points during the material laying process where vehicular access will be restricted as residents won’t be able to drive over the newly laid material, as early trafficking could lead to premature failure, therefore WCC has recommended to residents that if works are being undertaken in the vicinity of their property to speak to the workforce in advance to ask if there will be any restrictions with regards to access.

Should you require any further information in advance of the works please refer to https://one.network/?tmi=GB32236373. If you wish to discuss the works whilst they are in operation, please speak to a member of the workforce who will direct you to the appropriate person on site.

Proposed new History Club

This idea came about from talking with residents who were born and brought up in the village so their wealth of knowledge is endless. And it is this knowledge that I would like to capture. But not only of people, but places and names. For example, Nurses Corner which is where Cottage on the Bank is along Middleton Road.

Now I asked a silly question - why was it called that- well obviously it is where nurses lived but interestingly this led to a conversation about the nurses themselves, their names and their roles within the village. I was transfixed!!!! Also names of tracks, the history of a theatre, an old primary school in the grounds of the playground of the existing school. So I think these sort of stories should be preserved, how I don’t know yet, but I was wondering if a group of those born and bred in the village could get together and perhaps start something that could be preserved.

There is a wealth of history in this village, going back generations so lets keep it for future generations. Of course this idea leads to photographs as well as the written word. So if you have a box of old photos please get them out and if you can write on the back of them who, when, where they were taken, they too will be included. What the final result or how the history will presented is something that needs to be discussed but firstly if memoirs are written, with photos, this will be the perfect start.

So if you are interested in this project and what to participate please let me know and I will endeavour to take this forward and lets hope the history of this wonderful village can be preserved and treasured. It is going to be quite a project so if anyone wants to help me with the presentation of the history I would be delighted to work with you.
