High Street
I received mail yesterday from County suggesting that the contractors should be able to finish within the two week time span they projected. They also pointed out that operatives were working in access of time estimates and were further ahead on the main contract than expected. The problem was as a result of unidentified and unrecorded gas delivery pipes which were exposed as excavation continued. So I keep my fingers crossed that they are right and we can get our High Street back to normal as soon as possible. Yesterday we made quite clear to County highways that there areas where access to gas equipment was excavated had to be repaired to the highest standard and they agreed to monitor the position. More about the state of our roads and pavements later.

I heard the managers in coop moaning today about lack of trade and sales. With the Saxon square building work, the gas works , the rain and the expensive parking they are having a tough time.
Yes I agree it has been a tough year so far for Christchurch traders not helped by this dreadful weather.
The Chamber of Commerce were bullish when I spoke with them last week looking forward not back. Hopefully the gas works will be completed next week and we can get back to normality. Saxon Square will be completed in June, this is a long term project well overdue and will produce added value in the future.
In respect of parking watch this space!
