  • Temporary one way traffic system

    The public are advised thata temporary one way system will be in place in the direction of Gordons Post to Hutts Gate along Tomb Road on Friday, 1 December 2023, from 9am to 12 noon.

    Traffic wishing to travel in the opposite direction will be diverted from Hutts Gate to Gordons Post via The Dungeon, as per the map below:

    The one way system will be clearly signed and will be removed as soon as no longer required.

    The one way system has been put in place in order to more safely manage traffic and ease congestion, given the anticipated increase in vehicle volumes due to the visit of the MV Azamara Pursuit cruise ship. This is the same process as has been put in place in previous years, and for the last cruise ship visit, and is likely to also be a feature during future cruise ship visits.

    We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank the public for their understanding in this matter.

  • Side Path Road Closures

    Further to the update of 31 October, the contractor is now excavating hard rock from the hillside above Side Path Road.

    In order to expedite progress whilst maintaining safety for all road users, the contractor has requested an extension to the current daily closures of Side Path Road for a further two-week period, including Sundays. The Highways Authority has    considered and approved this request, and therefore Side Path will be closed on a daily basis from now until and including Sunday 3December.

    Side Path will be closed every day of the week from 9am to 4pm.

    Road closure and diversion signs will be in place, with access to and from Jamestown still being available via Constitution Hill Road and Ladder Hill Road. The contractor will not be implementing any further traffic management measures.

    During these road closures, the contractor is completing the remaining joint sealing work along Side Path in order to reduce the need for future disruptions to road users. 

    Side Path road will be open to all traffic on Friday 1 December for the scheduled cruise ship visit.

    For any questions regarding the Field Road site works, please contact the EDIP Site Supervisor Mr Chris Williams, by telephone on 67424.

  • ‘My Kidneys And Me’ Health Talks

    A third of people on St Helena are living with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). CKD happens when your kidneys are damaged. This can be for a number of reasons, but we know that during the early stages there are certain things you can do to help avoid the disease progressing to kidney failure.

    CKD will be the subject of the final health talk for this year. The Island’s Dietitian, Sarah Mattinson, will be giving tips and advice on what you can do during the early stages of CKD to remain healthy, and also busting some myths around diet and kidney disease.

    The session will last about 45 minutes and help you understand why controlling other conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol is so important for people living with early stage CKD. You do not have to share any personal medical information during the session and there will be an opportunity to ask questions after the session.

    The sessions will take place as follows:
