Doorknocking in Upton has been very positive today.
Teams are out everyday in CWaC speaking to residents, asking if there are any issues that they require assistance with which is great and the response on the doors have been positive.
The issue that has come up alot on Newhall road has been the uneven flag paving and having previously reported them i have had the following response from CWaC :
Following the number of enquiries raised by this resident, site inspections have been carried out by our Network Steward.
Highway Safety Inspections are undertaken by experienced and professionally qualified Network Stewards in accordance with our Code of Practice for Highway Safety Inspections. Any defects identified in line with the Code of Practice are raised and repaired.
The highways team have looked at the condition survey data for Newhall Road, and it has not been ranked as the highest priority for an improvement scheme this financial year. This footway will continue to be assessed as part of future year’s improvement programmes for resurfacing works.
However, in the meantime, the footway will continue to be inspected as part of our routine Highway Safety Inspections and any actionable defects will be raised accordingly.
Other issues did come up including Verges and potholes that will be looked at over the course of the week.
