Regular followers of these pages will be aware that I've been in almost constant contact with the council's highways assets department over the past year or so pressing them to follow up on residents' requests to have bollards installed at Park Avenue to restrict access to vehicles. Please see post dated Saturday 15 January 2022 for the latest details: https://robcrute-blackhall.blogspot.com/2022/01/latest-update-on-reported-issues.html
Following further contact with the council last week I’ve now received confirmation from the highways office that works are scheduled to be carried out soon. Please see below for full details.
Dear Councillor Crute
Please accept my sincere apologies for the delays in responding back. Colleagues in the Traffic team are on leave and they would normally coordinate the works
The scheme at Park Avenue is currently being communicated to all residents on the estate. This week I am writing again to all residents informing that we intend installing bollards at the top and bottom of Park Avenue to deter illegal access to properties
The legal challenge from one of the neighbours was not received and this means we are progressing with this scheme and it is being scheduled for a fortnight. Once I have the actual date for the works I will let you know
Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
From the response above it looks as though this programme should be brought to a conclusion sooner rather than later. However, I'll continue to press the council to respond to residents’ concerns and I'll up date on progress in due course.
