CE to chase to find out why the installation has not progressed

From Essex Highways 27th May

“We received confirmation from ECC on the 30th April that the payment was received on the 24th April 2026.

The team are now progressing all the necessary pre installation works required before the requested works can be delivered.  I can advise that the STATS searches have now been submitted to the relevant utility providers and the construction job pack is currently being compiled. Once the service information has been received and we have confirmation from the providers to proceed with the proposed site operations, we will be able to issue a planned programme date. 

We anticipate providing a planned programme delivery date within the next four to six weeks. 

I hope this clarifies the current progress and actions taken. 

If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind Regards,

Sarah Alcock | Engineering Co-ordinator
