Windsor Road Gullies & Railway Bridge

Good news today on two fronts.

Firstly, following complaints I received about blocked gullies on Windsor Road, the Council has been down to have a look and will clear the detritus from the grates which are causing the blockages. There were particular problems yesterday during the heavy rain with a couple of these grates.

Secondly, following our action, the Council have been a cleaned the pigeon muck from under the railway bridge on Chants Ave. There is still a dispute as to whether the Council or Network Rail are responsible for the bridge and the assocaited pigeon problem. An independent adjudicator will now make a decision on who is responsible.

I am also pursuing a seperate issue related to the bridge which relates to the barriers whih run along the pavements under the bridge. These need re-paiting and we are working with the Lib Dem Councillors in Avenue Ward to try to acheive this.
