Alterations to the electricity network on Pyrford Road

19th January 2017 10 Comments

McNicholas will be carrying out a network diversion on behalf of UK Power Networks along Pyrford Road, Surrey, GU22 8UE from 18th March until 26th May 2017.

The works will involve removing 8 spans of overhead line and replacing it with high voltage underground cables. The undergrounding works will be carried out via trench excavation within the carriageway from the junction of Hollybank Road running South to the junction with Lock Lane.

An overview of the works which will be taking place can be seen here.

The red dotted line on the plan depicts the new underground cable. Although on the plan it shows the new cable tight against the western side of the carriageway, survey results have identified that beneath Pyrford Road it is extremely congested with underground services (Water, Gas, Telecoms, Sewage), therefore it has forced McNicholas to install their cable more centrally within the carriageway. This in turn dictates that in order for them to meet the safety requirements of the ‘New Roads and Streetworks Act’ they will need to close sections of Pyrford Road while they carry out the works. There will be clear diversion routes in place for each phase of the works.

The entire duration of the road closure will be 18/03/17 – 26/05/17, although they will be carried out in 3 individual sections:

Phase 1: 18/03/17 – 12/04/17. Pyrford Road will be closed from the junction with Hollybank Road to the junction with Boltons Lane (please see the blue line on TM Plan 1-McNicholas-Pyford for diversion route).

Phase 2: 13/04/17 – 10/05/17. Pyrford Road will be closed from the junction with Boltons Lane to the junction with Floyds Lane (please see the blue line on TM Plan 2-McNicholas-Pyford for diversion route).

Phase 3: 11/05/17 – 26/05/17. Pyrford Road will be closed from the junction with Floyds Lane to the junction with Lock Lane (please see the blue line on TM Plan 3-McNicholas-Pyford for diversion route).

There will be advanced warning signs in place to notify the public of the proposed works and McNicholas will also be carrying out letter drops to all the residents who may be affected by the upcoming works. Throughout the entire duration of the works, McNicholas will maintain access for residents, businesses and emergency services – within working hours these will be marshalled through by the site operatives and outside working hours McNicholas will close the site in to ensure there is enough space within the carriageway for residents and business users to have access through the site.

McNicholas will ensure that there is signage clearly stating that all businesses will be open as usual and they have already engaged with the local businesses/schools who may be affected by the works.

    Thank you for the ‘heads up’ on this.
    By the way, Pyrford Road is not in Old Woking!

    @ Gwenda Wakefield……Highlight the red writing of each description of phases 1,2 and 3 and it will take you to a clear map for each. Hope that helps.

    It is now 19 March and the warning signs of impending road closures have disappeared! What’s going on? I cannot find any information anywhere.
    Has the project been delayed/shelved?

    There was chaos and gridlock outside Pyrford School and the church and I have reported this to Surrey Council. The teachers are having to park in the road and the school traffic creates further disruption and the road is effectively single lane for several hundred yards.

      My understanding is that UK Power Networks will have paid for the works.

Welcome to the Byfleet, West Byfleet & Pyrford Residents’ Association Website

The Byfleet, West Byfleet & Pyrford Residents’ Association (the ‘RA’) is a local community group open to residents (homeowners and tenants) and businesses operating in the three villages. We attempt to represent the interests of everyone living in our area and/or contributing to the local economy. We strive to ensure that the three villages remain attractive, prosperous, environmentally sustainable, safe and socially welcoming places in which to live.

It was formed in 1928 and has been run by volunteers continuously since then – more than 90 years of dedicated service to the residents of our villages.

Current membership represents around 30% of all households (around 2,400 homes). We have a network of 150 volunteer street representatives who keep contact with our members, deliver our newsletter and collect subscriptions (where possible). These street representatives are the life blood of the RA. 

The types of issues that the RA had focussed on recently include planning, Green Belt protection and anti-social behaviour. The RA also supports local charities and has a donations policy. 

Looking forward the RA would like to expand its community involvement to include health, education, and leisure facilities for young people.   That is dependent on having volunteers with both an interest and a desire to become involved.

Join today and receive the next issue of our newsletter, The Resident, which is published three times a year. You will also be entitled to receive details by email of local events planned by the RA (subject to current COVID 19 restrictions) and matters of interest to local residents.
