  • I am escalating FMS-6107432 as the footpath is impassable. To suggest that it will take until 17/12/2024 for this to be fixed is inappropriate as it is proving to be a serious road safety issue. Many disabled residents use the path to access the village hall cafe and community groups in York Avenue.

  • Investigation: Ongoing (Defect Found), Defect Repair: Not Started - We are currently awaiting a greens report.

  • I am escalating FMS-6107432 yet again as the footpath is impassable. To suggest that it will take until 17/12/2024 for this to be fixed is inappropriate as it is proving to be a serious road safety issue. Many disabled residents use the path to access the village hall cafe and community groups in York Avenue. You say that you were currently awaiting a greens report in July 2024. Why has there been no further progress?

  • Investigation: Completed (Defect Found), Defect Repair: Not Started - Thank you for your enquiry.
