Pedestrian diversion plan
• We will continue to work with each individual business when we move the works to right up to the property boundary / shop door.
• Access to businesses will be maintained, however several pedestrian diversions / new accessways will be required due to the extremely close proximity of the works to the businesses, and for safety reasons. In some cases small bridges will be used.
• Not all businesses will be diverted simultaneously – we work in a staged approach to minimise pedestrian confusion/overwhelm.
• All of our usual construction effects mitigation measures will be in place and we will continue to work with the shop owners on wayfinding, signage and business support.
• Please bear with us – we are now on the home stretch.
