Following complaints about the condition of Cockleton Lane and the Crossfield Estate, I’ve asked Highways Staff to look in to this.
I have been advised that the purpose of the surface dressing in Cockleton Lane was to seal the roads surface from water preventing frost damage during the winter, rather than providing skid resistance which I had hoped for. The Council are aware of problems, are monitoring these and assured me will undertake remedial measures where necessary. I remain hopeful that concerns over speeding and access can be monitored in liaison with Gurnard Parish Council.
With regard to the Estate Roads in Cowes, I've asked Officers to monitor these as the road surface looks a bit 'worse for wear in certain locations. The response I received suggested if this was hazardous the road will be duly prioritised and repaired. If works are not considered 'essential', then under current financial constraints, we have to await for the PFI award, before these such improvements can be progressed.
