Highway obstruction, rear of Middle Street, Blackhall Colliery

We have been contacted today by a number of residents concerned about the dangerous condition of a damaged garage door at the rear of Middle Street in Blackhall Colliery.

The garage, which is opposite the Blackhall branch library, is in private ownership and the owner has on a number of occasions in the past been made aware of the danger to the public of the garage door (please see post dated 11 September 2013 for further details).

Although responsibility for carrying out necessary repairs lies with the owner we have contacted the neighbourhood wardens, the environmental health section and the highways department at county hall to ask that they contact the garage owner and ask that repairs are carried out as a matter of urgency.
