Cable reinforcement work on Vanguard Way in Shrewsbury

Western Power Distribution will be carrying out cable reinforcement work on Vanguard Way in Shrewsbury from 2 to 13 August 2021.

The work will involve Western Power replacing a section of underground cable on Vanguard Way adjacent to the Household Recycling Centre. The new reinforced cable will allow for more capacity and help minimise the risk of future outages for businesses within the area.

For safety reasons, whilst the work is being undertaken the exit off the recycling centre roundabout towards Harlescott Lane will be closed and a signed diversion route will be in place.

Access to businesses will be maintained at all times.

Shropshire Council’s inspection team will monitor works as they progress to ensure the contractors are working efficiently and to the agreed timescales.

Residents and affected businesses will be notified of the works and advanced warning signs will be placed on site two weeks prior to the scheme starting.
