I’ve just been to look and it seems to have been partly sorted out – hope that is ok now until it is properly finished. I actually think this is something our new Community Wardens should have picked up – I am seeing the supervisor in the next day or so I should find out more.
……………..and please, tell me about things like this – we all miss things sometimes (sorry)

Mary, regarding the information provided to you…
“they have removed the damaged section of guard rail and left site the site in a safe condition with a temporary barrier in place. ”
…the photograph suggests nothing has been removed; indeed the main piece of railguard is very visibly damaged and very visibly still there!
And do they really think that two bollards and a bit of sticky tape constitute a temporary barrier and that as a result the site is left in a ‘safe condition’?
The corner of the railguard pushed in over the footpath is at about the same height as the face of a four year old. And I don’t see much in the way of padding to protect them.

I am told that a repair order went to the Council’s contractor on 25th January. they have removed the damaged section of guard rail and left site the site in a safe condition with a temporary barrier in place. a new section of guard rail needs to be fabricated, – it is non standard and needs to be specially made – and it is expected that it will be installed by the end of next week.
