Burnside Estate

[Keith Scantlebury]

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.

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