Wall works start.

The work on Tenbury Wells Market Street Wall has started just one week short of the anniversary of the third 2007 flood.

WCC Senior project engineer Glenn Lucitt, correctly predicted the start date of the work at the Tenbury Town Council meeting last Monday. His assurance that only one or two parking bays in Market Street would need to be suspended was not so correct.

Today all the Parking spaces were conned off to allow for the Traffic Signals.

Traffic flowed freely through the town centre, but shop keepers noticed a drop in trade, whether this was due to the reduction in parking spaces, people staying away in case of traffic hold up or because of the general economic situation it is hard top say.
