Handrail request for Blackhall Steps

We have been contacted recently by a few residents from the Scheme Houses in Blackhall Colliery concerned that a handrail has not been provided on the newly renovated steps linking the estate with the A1086 (please see post dated Sunday 31 July 2016 for background details).

The newly renovated steps at Blackhall, looking down onto the A1086

Given the potential risk of falling at this location we contacted the county council yesterday to ask that a handrail be installed as soon as possible and we are currently awaiting their response.

We will update on progress as soon as we hear back from the council.
