We have submitted over a dozen issues relating to the state of the area in the last day or so.

Footpaths like Holmlands Crescent which has been falling to bits for years and the Labour-run council still refuses to repair it: Perhaps our fifth request for action will see results:

 

 

 

 

 

Also on this street a water cover which quite clearly was a trip hazard last year – google doesn’t lie! and still has not been picked up by the council despite several reports that they have checked the area.

 

 

 

 

 

The state of some of the driveway entrances on High Carr Road. On one side of the road after we reported it repairs have finally taken place, albeit months and months after we reported it. On the other side weeds may hide the true depth of the damage, but none can say this is not a disgrace, more temporary repairs than you can count:

 

 

 

 

 

Around the corner on Finchale Road, issues which we have reported today which shouldn’t happen but which the council may not be aware of. What appears to be a utility repair which is clearly not to standard, and near it a wall which is dangerous – where I could pull the bricks out if I tried! We have also reported the path running to Newton Drive, full of litter, needing weeds, gravel and soil removed. I am confident the council will address these asap and will be checking it.

 

 

 

 

 

Clearly some issues can arise at short notice like a utility repair, but I have serious concerns that trip hazards which were there last year, on pavements which the council will say have been surveyed at least once and maybe more than once, are still there.
