Vandalism of grass verges

Reported in the Roads/highways category by john roche at 19:24, Wed 17 March 2010; the map was not used so pin location may be inaccurate
Sent to Surrey County Council less than a minute later

On several occassions over a period of years I have reported to SCC the damage to grass verges at three sites all on the Old Horsham Road as it runs through Beare Green Village. SCC have taken some action e.g. wooden posts to block vehicle incursion but this has been only partially successful.In the three ares I have identified to SCC there are areas where the verge has been completely destroyed due to deliberate and repeated vehicle incursion, this is deliberate vandalism. The fabric and appearnace of the village is being blighted and SCC`s failure to tackle this problem is unacceptable and at variance with its public policy on protecting verges as detailed on its own website. The number of wooden posts required to solve this problem is not considerable.SCC is complicit in vandalism by not tackling it.I can provide photographic evidence if necessary.

Offensive? Unsuitable? Tell us

Other than a complacent and glib email from SCC Highways nothing has been done to address this problem and it is clear SCC have no intention to do so
