Anne Robson Helpline

Introducing the Anne Robson Helpline – if you or someone close to you is dying, you can talk to us.

At the Anne Robson Trust we aim to be there to listen to anyone who faces dying or the imminent death of someone they care about.  We know that facing the end of life can leave you feeling isolated and alone.

Being able to access support is so important. Gaining knowledge of what may happen towards the end of life and being prepared helps both the person dying and their loved ones to feel a sense of control.

Calls are free and confidential. Call us on 0808 801 0688 – we have time to talk

Planned road improvement works along B1230, Main Road, Newport

ERYC are pleased to inform you that road improvement works are due to commence along the B1230 Main Road, Newport between Peturia Way junction (near the A63 junction) and Mill Lane junction (St Stephen’s Church). The works are scheduled to commence on Monday 11 July and will last for up to 9 weeks, weather permitting.  To reduce the disruption caused to residents and businesses the works have been phased. Please see the attached phase plan and residents’ letter.

The work will consist of deep resurfacing works to the existing carriageway, patching repairs, surface water drainage improvements and minor footpath works during mainly daytime working hours (8am – 5pm) under temporary traffic lights. Initially resurfacing work will also take place between Peturia Way and Wallingfen Lane junctions on nights (between 7pm and 6am) for up to eight shifts. 

To reduce the carbon footprint of this scheme, low temperature asphalt will be used, which reduces the amount of energy needed to manufacture the material, and allows roads to be reopened more quickly than traditional materials like hot asphalt.  

ERYC would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused by these works.
