The Parish Council wish you and your families all the best at these most difficult times.
Welcome to Somerford Parish Council
CONGLETON LINK ROAD :
Appointed Engineers – Graham
The Project Team have been working through the programme to establish what impact Covid-19 has had. It has now been confirmed that the earliest completion date for the scheme is 27th January 2021 and again subject to change due to the Covid-19 pandemic and weather conditions.
Construction work commenced in November 2018. Core elements of the project will involve cutting the road 8m deep into mudstone in a 25m high escarpment before traversing the River Dane with an 85m long bridge and landing on a 12m high embankment founded on piled alluvium. Two further road bridge crossings and two underpasses will be constructed while 3.5km of realigned and new local roads represent an additional portion of the works programme, which will demand landscaping and environmental mitigation to accommodate great crested newts, bats and ancient woodland.
If you have any concerns please visit Graham Website or contact Daniel Cawthra daniel.cawthra@graham.co.uk Stakeholder & Communications Officer for the Congleton Link Road.

The legal transfer of the RSPB land has finally been completed, the Parish Council have begun the journey of putting the plans for the site into effect.
At an extraordinary meeting of the Parish Council on Monday last, the 27th January, a contractor was appointed to install the hard landscaping of the pathways and soil bunding. Somerford Parish Council are pleased to confirm that local firm, James Ashbrook Ltd, have been appointed as that contractor. At an early stage Ashbrook’s generously offered to provide fuelled plant and machinery for the whole project whichever contractor was appointed.
