Dangerous Damaged Road
Reported in the Potholes category by Simon Snewin at 17:43, Sat 21 March 2009
Sent to Cheshire County Council 2 minutes later
Having tried the online council website to report this problem several months ago and having received no response I am trying again via fixmystreet.com. I have attached a picture with the dangerous area shaded in orange. I now cycle 12 miles to work and back every day and cross this section on my way home when turning left into Linley Road. The surface is so poor that I have nearly been shaken off my bike on several occasions. It is only a matter of time before this surface is the cause of an accident, and I find it unbelievable that nothing has been done since my last report. Completely resurfacing would not be necessary so the cost of adding a new layer would not be prohibitive. I would think that the council would want to encourage cyclists to leave their cars at home, but this seems to not be the case as I have been totally ignored. I have recently spent £800 on a new bike and when (not if) the time comes that I am thrown off at this corner I will be holding the council responsible.
Offensive? Unsuitable? Tell us
Updates
Despite contacting the council via their own pothole reporting system online before, and then via FixMyStreet I have STILL heard nothing from them, and nothing has been done about the road surface.
And ANOTHER 4 weeks on I have STILL had no response and nothing has changed with the road surface. Am I wrong, but I thought the Council was there to serve the people!
I have now emailed my 3 councillors. Two have responded and are looking into the matter. Fingers crossed!
Having heard from the 2 councillors I now notice some weeks later that the road section has been marked out for repair. I wonder how long it will take???
