The section of footpath on Dalby Road between Queensway and the bottom of green hill is in very poor order. In some places it does not meet highways specification on width so passing truck mirrors overhang the path with potentially disastrous consequences. The path also has a severe cross fall as it is being pushed into the adjacent dyke by the weight of heavy goods vehicles that run close to the channel line, in fact the road at the channel line is also badly degraded it is starting to break up and when it rains, big puddles form with the potential to saturate pedestrians from passing vehicles. HGV’s have no choice other than to run close to the kerb line and their weight is forcing the path into the dyke and additionally damaging the water main in the verge, this has now been repaired numerous times. Additionally the road gully’s are not set on the channel line which hinders the drainage of this part of the road. Most of the above are non conformities to highway specifications and could be used against highways/council in the event of an accident or civil claim.

  • Typical of the state of the country, just no money to fix things apparently. This item is down for planned maintenance work but nothing ever happens. All our infrastructure is in decay and will cost a fortune to put right if ever they do
