  • To facilitate the next stage for the pumping station, a road closure in front of houses 40-45 is scheduled from Tuesday, April 2nd, for approximately 4 days to facilitate the next stage of the pumping station installation. Access to these houses will be maintained over the Easter Break.
  • Road reinstatement within Meadowbrook is temporarily delayed due to the discovery of unforeseen ESB cables. Sorensen awaits ESB’s response; once resolved, tarring will commence.

  • Access to all businesses in the Hazelwood SC will be maintained at all times.
  • Work is continuing behind the units and O’Connor’s Funeral Home, for the flood relief wall. This work is a vital part of the flood defence, along with the widening of the R639.
