The Burnside Estate Residents Group is starting to gather a little more momentum. For instance, we informed NCC that we were not satisfied with their efforts to repair the pot holes on the estate road.Within 7 days we had a reply to the e-mail and a week after that I had a phone call from the highways dept responsible for pot hole repairs . Yesterday, a week after the call, we managed to get residents to get most of their cars off the street, a large sweeper came round and gave it a good clean then the pot holes were filled right to the kerbsides. A promise was made to look into getting the estate entrance repaired ( big dip in the road) It was actually put on the tarmaccers job sheet, they have reported back that they could do nothing as it needs a more permanent repair. While writing this I have had a call from Highways asking how we felt about the repairs , he agreed that they were only a temporary measure and they are to make a temporary repair to the estate entrance and a report is to be put in to repair it properly / permanantly. ............ there will be more ! It's about time this estate started to get some good press.

well done to burnside residents group. Yes I noticed they came by my house which is on the main road up to Bedlington. Its been a good while since they last cleaned the kerbs.

Good work, Keith, I had this with the street lights last year and I've got to admit they finally came through...eventually.

Quite pleased with how it whent off, really. Will need to see if the estate entrance gets done as promised though.
