We have recently received an additional request from a resident for a street name-plate and an additional lighting column at the estate, which was erected on the site of the former Blackhall WMC.
Following our contact with the relevant council departments we have now received a response from the neighbourhood services section at county hall. We have reproduced it below in full:
I have contacted John Collins, Team Leader in Highways
Adoptions regarding the street nameplate and lighting column not being in place
for this development of 11 properties and his response was as follows:
“With the
developer going into liquidation we have had to use the bond money from the
Section 38 agreement to complete the site. The remaining bond money on
this site was not great and we had to prioritise the works we could do. So unfortunately the only thing we have been able to arrange for the erection
and connection of an additional lighting column.
Had there
been any remaining funds the intention was to refurbish an existing light and
erect the name plate.”
I can now take this matter forward with regard to the
erection of nameplate, cost of which will need to come out of Traffic Assets
Nameplate budget rather than the Section 38 Bond monies. I will visit the
site in the near future and issue a Works Request Form for said
nameplate. Unfortunately the timescale for its provision will be at least
two months.
With regard to the lighting column, I believe colleagues in
Member Support have sent your query to Street Lighting Team.
