Working with residents and businesses through construction
We understand that construction work is disruptive and can affect how you go about your daily lives or run your business.
Unfortunately, some disruption and noise is inevitable, but we will work with you to reduce impact as much as possible. We have plans to keep this to a minimum, and we are co-ordinating our work with other ongoing and scheduled works in your area.
Safety is our priority
During construction, traffic management measures will be installed and maintained to make sure the works can be carried out safely for everyone, including residents, businesses and our workforce.
Parking and loading
Some parking and loading bays will be suspended to allow for traffic management and safe access to the site. Temporary loading/unloading areas will be set up for deliveries. Exact dates and information about parking restrictions will be displayed on yellow signs before work begins.
Access
We will set up designated logistical points along the High Street to help with access including deliveries, blue badge holders and other logistical needs.
We are also proposing to reverse the one-way system to allow local access from the east, which will help with traffic coming in and out of the area. This will be strictly for local access only and parking will be temporarily removed along affected sections during this phase.
There will be full pedestrian access to all properties throughout this phase.
Waste collections
We will work with local businesses to help them plan for waste collections and keep any disruption to services to a minimum. We will share more information about this soon.
Supporting businesses
We want to make sure that access to your business or property is maintained and will work with you throughout construction.
Disabled access during works can be challenging, and you will be able to speak to the contractor on site with any specific requests. For example, if you know you have an appointment with someone who may need special assistance, we will do everything we can to support this.
Keeping in touch
Alongside regular meetings with local stakeholders and the Queensferry Business Collective, we will keep you up to date on the project.
We also have information to help you plan ahead and run your business during construction.
