Public meetings for local residents
Published on 18 Feb 2010
The bridge authority is organising two public meetings to discuss the impact of the bearing replacement project and other planned works on residents of North and South Queensferry.
The meetings will take place at:
- 7 p.m. on Monday 15 March
at the Forth Road Bridge Administration Office in South Queensferry;
and at:
- 7 p.m. on Tuesday 16 March
in the Queensferry Hotel, North Queensferry.
Councillor Phil Wheeler, FETA Convener, said: “We are very aware of the potentially disruptive nature of the planned work and its proximity to housing on either shore. The contractor will be required to abide by special conditions set out in the contract and to gain consent from local authorities for their proposed method of working, but some disturbance is inevitable.
“That’s why we’ve arranged these initial meetings – we want to start a dialogue with local residents to help us understand their concerns and explain exactly what will be happening. It will be a chance for local people to ask questions and tell us how they want to be kept informed as the project progresses.”
