Dear Neighbour,
Railway Improvement Works – Horley Subway Drainage Works RH6 7RJ
I’m writing to let you know that we will be carrying out essential drainage works to help with the flooding in the subway at Horley. The works are due to start on 29 July 2024 and are due to be completed by 30 August 2024. To be able to carry out these works safely, the footway through the subway and the car park at 43 High Street, Horley, RH6 7RJ, which is located next to the subway, will be closed for five weeks from 29 July 2024 to 30 August 2024 while these works are taking place. These closures are to allow us to be able to place a new drain at the entrance of the car park to help take water away. To facilitate these works, we will have a welfare and compound area located in the car park.
There will be a signed pedestrian diversion route and detour signs in place to assist pedestrians during this time. We are actively looking into providing access for older people and those with limited mobility. We will keep you updated on our progress and any arrangements. We understand that this may cause some inconvenience and we appreciate your patience and kind co-operation while we carry out these crucial works to help prevent any future flooding, improve safety and to help keep the subway open to pedestrians.
Work will take place as follows:
29 July 2024 to 30 August 2024
Each day from 07:00 to 17:00 - Replacing the existing pumps by installing a new pumping system, new drains and three catchpits that collect water.
30 July 2024 to 9 August 2024
Each night from 22:00 to 06:00 - Replacing the existing pumps by installing a new pumping system, new drains and three catchpits that collect water.
Due to the nature of the work and the tools we use, some disturbance will be unavoidable. We are sorry for any disturbance and inconvenience this causes you. All staff working on site are fully briefed on working responsibly in the local community and keeping noise levels to an absolute minimum level.
I hope this information is helpful and we apologise for any inconvenience these essential works may cause. However, if you have any additional questions or concerns, please visit www.networkrail.co.uk or telephone our 24-Hour National Helpline on 03457 11 41 41 quoting Horley Subway Drainage Works.
Yours faithfully
