Anglian Water are continuing to undertake major sewage works on Barton Road, in Wisbech. We know that the prolonged road closure and diversions that this has created are having a detrimental impact upon residents, businesses, and public transport in the area.
As the Local Highways Authority, we are required to provide access when emergency repairs like this are being undertaken by utility companies and to ensure that public safety is prioritised while the work remains ongoing.
The council recognises the concerns of the local community, and we are working to ensure the diversion routes are repaired as soon as possible.
We will continue to work closely with Anglian Water and have urged them to expedite the repairs to enable the road to be re-opened safely.
