ROADS CLOSED TO VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS

SIDEPATH ROAD – FROM THE BROW TO FIELD ROAD

SEALES’ CORNER TO THE BROW, NAPOLEON STREET

The Roads Section would like to advise the public that Sidepath Road (from the Brow to Field Road) and Seales’ Corner to the Brow, Napoleon Street, will be closed to vehicles and pedestrians on Wednesday 25 January 2017 from 1.30pm to 4pm.

These closures are necessary to enable the Rock Guards to remove loose rocks and secure the area above Sidepath Road.

Diversion and road closure signs will be in place and as normal only Emergency Services will be granted access.

There is a diversion route for cars and small vans only via Constitution Hill. Larger vehicles will have to divert via Ladder Hill and across country.

The Roads Section would like to thank the public in advance for their continued understanding and cooperation.

As soon as the area has been made safe, the roads will be reopened.

Harris’ Flats, Carnarvon Court, and Connect Saint Helena Ltd

During the works, residents in Harris’ flats and staff from Connect Saint Helena are requested to evacuate their properties from 1.15pm to 4pm. Please ensure that all vehicles are removed from their stationary position. This is a precautionary measure as the Rock Guards will be working in the area.

The section of the Run in this area will also be closed to members of the public.

The Salvation Army Hall in Jamestown will be open from 1pm as a reception centre for any residents who wish to go there during the period of the evacuation. Refreshments will be available throughout the afternoon.

Residents requiring assistance to move on the day can either contact the Emergency Planning Department on tel: 25052 or email Ian.johnson@sainthelena.gov.sh or Simon.wade@sainthelena.gov.sh. Alternatively residents can contact the Police on tel: 22626.

Residents will be informed at the earliest opportunity when work has been completed or if there has been any delay.

Emergency Services thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
