Upton-upon-Severn - High Street & Old Street improvement works

This week we have been carrying out alterations to property downpipes, inserting bends onto the down-pipes to direct water across the footways, through fluted channels.

We have a remedial list which consists of a variety of defects mainly damage to rendering and wooden fascia panels. All rendering defects are completed apart from the painting of them which is in hand. Photographic evidence of damage to wooden fascia panels will be handed to a local carpenter today with a view to completing the works next week.

We have arranged for a window cleaner to clean all windows on shop frontages and private property where reconstruction works have taken place, this will not be done until all resurfacing works are completed (15th April, 2013).
