Damaged pavement at Bluebell Close, Blackhall Colliery

Reports have been received from neighbours that the roots of a tree in Bluebell Close are causing severe damage to an adjacent pavement. Residents have concerns that if left in this condition the lifting pathway will cause a tripping hazard.

Checks on the system have confirmed that maintenance of the tree is the responsibility of the County Durham Housing Group so arrangements have been made with officers of the housing group for the tree to be inspected.


Following assessment repairs will be carried out to the pavement.
