Metrolink have written to councillors to inform us that they will be carrying out a rolling programme of overnight cabling and ducting works at various locations along the Bury line from the Queen’s Road junction to Bury Metrolink stop between midnight and 5am from now until 19th December, 2014.

No work will take place over the Christmas and New Year period and will then re-commence on 4th January and continue until 27th February, 2015.

No work will take place between 5am on Fridays and midnight on Sundays.

This work can only take place outside normal working hours when the trams are not in operation.

3,000 affected properties adjacent to the Metrolink line have been sent a more detailed letter – copy here.

Please let me know if you need more information or you need us to get in touch with Metrolink.
