Poor State of Kiln Street

The first reply I received advised that the street is not adopted. I reply I have pointed out that in this day of council tax payments - I did not see this as being fair. Been advised it is being looked into - not holding my breath. Suspect won't hear anything else.

Have been contacted by local Councillors who advise that as the street is unadopted - there can do nothing about it. All they could do is possible assist with contacting other residents with a view to there being communal funding to bring the street upto a better standard.

Just because the street is unadopted - presumably the local authority will not do anything. Other than possibly to help co-ordinate immediate residents in organising getting the work done ourselves.

The reason given was that the street in not adopted & therefore local Councillors are unable to help other than possible help with contacting residents ajacent to the street to fund resurfacing. This I feel is a non starter as there are certainly some section/s which is not ajacent to anyone's property. Who would fund this?

This road is used by many members of the public, walking and by vehicles who I am sure do not live in the vacinity for access to the only RC school in the town. It is also has heavy usage for/by e.g. short cuts, to reach residential property, lorries, wagons, refuse collections.

In view of the above i.e. school - I feel it should be considered for maintenance by the local authority. All that is being asked is that the suface is levelled and given a reasonable surface. It does not have to be tarmaced.

Seems unlikely that anything will be done. Having said that a Councillor has made a comment in local paper about the top priority being roads leading to schools. In tend to get in touch with her via the coucils web site.
