Badly damaged section of North Way
I am really pleased to report that following my ongoing campaign, I have managed to secure money in next years’ budget for some restructuring work to be completed on the badly deteriorating road.
I will continue to chase this and provide a date for this work as soon as it is known.
Following numerous emails, tweets and telephone conversations, I met with the Highways team concerning the state of North Way. I am pleased to say that the 2 larger repairs have been completed today.
I will however, continue to push for the whole road to be restructured, as the concrete slabs below this tarmac are moving and the road condition is not acceptable. This work would be similar to what was carried out on Kelston View earlier this year and needs to be put into a future budget. I will be monitoring this closely to ensure it is added in as soon as it can be.
I have had a meeting at North Way with the Cabinet Member for Highways and a BANES Highway Officer.
I am pleased to say they have agreed to get the vey dangerous pothole at the top of the hill repaired immediately. They have also agreed to have to 2 areas need the bottom of the road are dug out and filled properly, instead of just a temporary.
They have also agreed to get a survey completed of the entire road as it is in such a poor state, it is need of replacing. Once the survey is completed they will put forward the costings to be included in next years’ budget to ensure the road is fully repaired.
I will update you again on progress with this road as soon as I know more.
