As residents will be aware I’ve issued repeated requests for repairs to be carried out to the severely damaged road surface at The Crescent in Blackhall Colliery.
In the early stages I was told by the council that the defects were not sufficient to warrant repair works. Then late last year I was assured that works had been added to the works programme - and still the road remains in a dangerous and unsightly condition.
Earlier today I contacted the council again with a request for an update on the works programme, and asked specifically for a date when resurfacing works would begin. I’ve also asked to meet on site with highways officers to give me an opportunity to impress on them the desperate need for repair works at this location.
I’ll update on progress as soon as I have a response from the service.
