MCC has been advised of the following planned works. Please take these works into account when planning any journeys.
| SCOTTISH TRUNK ROAD NETWORK
M9/M876 JUNCTION, FK2 8RW FALKIRK BEAR Scotland, acting on behalf of Transport Scotland, are planning to carry out essential major repairs on the M9 Hill bridge at M876/M9 Junction. The bridge is located 4 miles north of Falkirk where the M876 eastbound slip road is carried over the M9 at Junction 8. The works are split in two phases with phase 1 provisionally proposed to begin in the 22nd of November and last for at least 8 weeks. Phase 2 is provisionally planned to start on Sunday 17th of January 2022 and last for at least 15 weeks. A mixture of traffic management arrangements will be required during this time, including lane restrictions during night time on the M9 and M876. The works will be programmed to ensure safety of road users and engineering staff alike, whilst minimising disruption to travellers. |

Yesterday, MCC received a brief update from Springfield regarding upcoming site activities on H49.
On Monday (11th October) preliminary work will commence on-site, including the installation of the security (heras) fencing around the site boundary and the setting up of a temporary compound.
On the following Monday (18th October) work will commence on forming the new access from the A91, as approved by the Council.

MCC has today received the following update from Springfield re the development works currently underway in H49.
The electricity cable diversion works are now nearing the completion. Due to safety and access concerns raised by MCC, Springfield were able to keep Maudie’s Loan open, during the brief time that the undergrounding works were being undertaken across the path, by fencing off half of the path, on either side of the works, whilst the cable duct was being put in place. Springfield staff were present, during the time that these operations were underway, to advise anyone passing of the work being undertaken.
Now that the cable ducting works across the site is nearly complete, the electrical works to switch the overhead cable to the underground duct can now begin. Springfield has advised that this project will be carried out by engineers from the electricity supply company, according to their timetable.
MCC has also been advised that the follow on elements of the Council approved build programme will commence from Wednesday of next week (15th September) and that Springfield’s groundworks contractor has been made fully aware of the sensitive nature of the site and of the approved Plans to which they should adhere.

This is to advise that, this morning, MCC Officers held a further meeting with representatives of Springfield plc., to discuss various Environmental and Heath & Safety issues and concerns recently raised both by MCC members and several residents, following the commencement of construction work at the former bowling green and within the development site itself. These issues included concerns raised regarding the lack of: adequate on-site measures to protect protected trees and their roots during construction work; on-site safety warning signage; off-site traffic management measures; and the installation of security fencing around the boundary of the construction site, amongst others.
Springfield acknowledged that those measures were not in place, as they should have been, before starting the enabling operations on-site. They advised that, under normal circumstances, all of these measures would have been in place prior to any construction work starting. However, due to access work having to take place on-site earlier than had been planned, to allow for the undergrounding of electricity power cables, prior to any building work starting, and due to certain material shortages and supply difficulties, caused by the current Covid situation, not all of these measures were in place prior to the commencement of this initial work.
At today’s meeting, Springfield assured MCC that, starting from today, the full range of approved environmental protection, safety warning and traffic management signage, security fencing and other measures, will be positioned and/or constructed as soon as possible, to replace the temporary measures currently in place.
Moving forward, Springfield has also agreed to continue to meet with MCC Officers, on a regular basis, to discuss and address any on-going issues or concerns relating to the housing development. MCC will continue to monitor the development to ensure that any legitimate concerns or issues raised by our community are addressed either by Springfield or the Council, as quickly as possible.
Finally, Springfield also confirmed that residents can contact them directly, with any queries or concerns, by calling their Head Office on 01324 555536 or by emailing [email protected].
