Closure of The Borough on Thursday 20th February
Closure of The Borough on Thursday 20th February 2025 to enable South West Water to carry out urgent water mains repairs.
Message from Councillor Richard Clewer:
I wanted to give an update regarding the water leak on The Borough. South West Water have been exploring carrying out the repair using a ‘no dig’ solution which would have avoided closing the road. This process is where a coagulant is injected into the pipework, to find the cracks and stop the leak, and is far less disruptive. Unfortunately, on this occasion this hasn’t worked and the road will need to be excavated to repair the pipework.
Wiltshire Council have agreed with South West Water that the road can be closed on Thursday 20th February 2025 for one day to be able to carry out the urgent repairs and reinstate the road in the same period. We are utilising the half term period next week to reduce the disruption that is caused and advance warning signage and letter drops are being circulated today.
I appreciate this will cause disruption on the day but the water leak needs to be resolved as soon as possible. Formal details and letters are going out today (Friday the 14th February 2025).
The formal road closure notice, published in accordance with Section 14 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, and showing the alternative routes, can be viewed here.
