Avonline working in High Street
Information about High Street works
We have received the following statement concerning Avonline Networks working on behalf of Gigaclear, carrying out works in Marlborough High Street starting 30 October. We are told that excavation work will not take place on market days.
"Avonline on behalf of Gigaclear will soon begin working to bring Gigaclear ultrafast full fibre broadband to the business and properties on Marlborough High Street.
During these works Avonline will be completing their excavation predominantly in the carriageway utilising a narrow workspace which won’t affect traffic flow but will result in some parking bays closest to the shops on the south side of the High Street being suspended. However, this will be a rolling suspension as site moves, and will be limited to 5-6 at a time. When the works are required to go into the footway an alternative walkway will be provided in the carriageway, but these works will be minimal. Access to shops will not be impeded and if works outside business is required it will be completed when these businesses are closed or only if access can be maintained to minimise disruption.
The works should be completed within three weeks and will not affect the twice weekly markets or any planned town events, such as Remembrance Sunday or Christmas light switch on. Anything excavated will be reinstated same day and site will be cleared at the end of every day to minimise disruption.
Letter drops and door knocks in advance of works commencing will take place for business advising of the works."
