The road in Sansome Close has never been repaired. We have road damage all over and particularly in the middle of the road the road has sunk significantly and the manhole is now highly raised. Cars are being damaged and scraped as they go over this as it’s right in the middle of the road and it’s not possible to manoeuvre without hitting it. The sides of the road are completely crumbling away and is a mess and a danger. Our neighbour has raised this over the past 15 years to no avail and the road continues to disintegrate and become worse. I’m hoping that someone can come and visit to see the issues we as residents are managing. Roads that are much newer have been completely resurfaced in the time that sansome close has been here. It really does need to be reviewed as there will be possible claims for car damage as it is just getting worse and worse. King regards
