Highway repair requests at Blackhall Rocks

Almost two weeks ago, following a query raised at a parish council environment committee meeting held on Wednesday 14 July, I reported several sections along the back lane behind Leaholme Terrace and Meadow Avenue for inspection and repair where necessary. Later that week I received the reply shown below, confirming that the highways section does not consider the road sufficiently dangerous or hazardous or warrant further attention at the moment. 

I believe some sections of this road surface require attention so I’ll persist in pressing the highways section to carry out repairs in the worst affected areas. However, the highway section also confirmed that the stretch of road between Glenholme Terrace and the allotments is not owned or maintained by the highways authority and consequently works at this location cannot be carried out by the council.
