Highways Matters

Potholes have been filled in Ward Avenue, a street nameplate has been requested for Park Road following being uprooted, whilst another has been repaired in Guppy Close. I’ve requested that the blocked gully’s in Cockleton Lane are cleared following icy conditions, and asked that damage caused by pipeline vehicles to grass verges in Rew Street is made good.


I’ve passed on complaints of parked vehicles on pavements in Place Road, following concerns that double buggies and mobility scooters have been unable to pass safely when vehicle park on the entire pavement.


I continue to receive complaints about speeding traffic in Tuttons Hill, and in the short term I’ve asked the police to take enforcement action against speeding motorists. I have also asked for enforcement action to be taken against parents parking dangerously at school drop off and pick up times in Cockleton Lane.
