Damaged fence behind Primrose Court removed

Earlier this week I contacted the authorities to report a fence that had collapsed into the public footpath behind Primrose Court and Bluebell Close in Blackhall Colliery. Details can be found here in a recent update of local issues: https://robcrute-blackhall.blogspot.com/2022/11/update-on-local-issues.html

I’m told by the council that an officer from the building control team called out to the site on the same evening to assess the extent of the damage. I subsequently received confirmation from the council that arrangements were in place to make the area clear for pedestrians.

It was further confirmed on Friday that the landowner responsible for the fencing had taken all necessary measures without delay and had made the location safe and passable ready for replacement fencing to be installed.
