| Hello Yashdra. I am a local resident who has been taking photographs of types of pavement damage which can leave pedestrians open to harm, serious injuries and one of my neighbours died after falling as she didn't survive the subsequent operation. I have fallen, my Mother in Law was badly shaken and bruised from a fall and I have numerous neighbours with differing degrees of disability from similar falls. Many of my neighbours would say that the pavements are so dangerous that they do not have the freedom to go for a casual walk - indeed when the Safer neighbourhood team visited out road it came up as an issue over and over again. The reason it is brought up in conversation with the police is because the damage is not wear and tear and reasonable use, but often the direct cause of vandalism by the people associated with building work. I have no training, unlike our street engineers who come armed with legislation, LBH policies, duty to the public purse, service to the public purse and equations to be jealous of (I can't bring myself to say, to die for, because that would be tempting fate). Would you mind if I asked you who you are? Are you the owner of the Mission Hall, which I gather you are going to rename "The Euro Centre"? Sarah |
