Last week a resident contacted me to report the deteriorating condition of the footpaths at Station Road in Blackhall Rocks. I had already issued a request for repairs a few months ago so I asked the highways section at county hall for an update.
In response I've received confirmation that the footpaths had been inspected and have been added to the works programme for the coming year. Please see details below:
An investigation has been carried out and on this occasion your request has been added to the current work programme. This means that the necessary works have been ordered and it is expected that the work will be completed within the current financial year.
Please note that the work
programme is determined on a priority basis in accordance with our highway
safety maintenance regime which follows national guidelines. Therefore on some
occasions it may take us longer than expected to complete the work.
We will continue to monitor the highway through our routine safety inspections and any repairs will be made if deemed necessary. However should the condition of the Road or footpath deteriorate further.
This latest update on footpath repairs at Station Road follows a request I raised last year for the speed humps to be modified to bring them back to an effective condition. These works were included in the works programme earlier this year. Full details can be found in an update report I published a few months ago.
