Impacts during construction

Due to the scale of the work, the construction site will be quite large and some local disruption is likely. This will involve:

• Closure of the pavement on the seaward side of Marine Drive and some of the Parade. Although some of this pavement at the Clocktower end of Marine Drive will be reopened as and when work is completed. 
• Closure of the Harbour Arm from late October until March 2012.
• The road will generally remain open in both directions for the duration of the work, but both lanes of the road will be narrowed and moved landwards slightly whilst the work is ongoing.
• The charged parking bays along the landward side of Marine Drive will be unavailable for the whole duration of the work.
• Alternative provision for businesses along Marine Drive for deliveries will be made.  This is likely to be via the installation of a temporary communal loading bay.

A planned schedule of work has been drafted to ensure that local business and residents are aware of the impact.  View this schedule.
