Highway repair works to begin at Glenholme Terrace within the next 14 days

Last week I contacted the council again to ask for potholes to be repaired along the back lane behind Glenholme Terrace in Blackhall. This follows a long-drawn out series of requests over the past couple of years - with repairs delayed because of a dispute over who actually owned the road and who had responsibility for carrying out repairs. Please see full details here: Request for resurfacing works behind Glenholme Terrace

I've now received confirmation that highways works have been added to the council's works programme and that because of the severity of the defects works are expected to be carried out within the next 14 days.

Thank you for your recent report about road or footpath at or near to Glenholme Terrace, Blackhall Colliery, TS27 4HU, reference number FS-Case-747564174.

Your report has been added to the ongoing work programme and will be processed in line with the repairs policy.

We programme repairs based on the severity of the defect and the type of road or footpath on which it is situated. In this case we aim to complete the necessary works within the next 14 days.
