| Oh dear, oh dear it is so tiresome trying to commincate with Houslow Council's Environmental Serrvices Dept. Here's the latest correspondence but they seem totally determined to waste our money and quite oblivious or unconcerned about the lethargy with which they go about their jobs "Dear Mr Foster I believe you and I both know that since your inspection on or around 23 Feb and my inspection and measurement of 28 Feb there has been no severe weather which would have caused the potholes to increase from 50 to 100mm. If you do however maintain this stance, I believe that based on current weather conditions the unmarked potholes will also have reached your intervention level by tomorrow as they appear to deteriorate at a rate on 10mm per day according to your response. I would like in any event to have your cost analysis of deferring the filling of all potholes on Saturday 6th against waiting possibly another 2 or 3 weeks for the unmarked potholes to attain your intervention criteria and the justification to disrupt traffic for a second period. KInd regards Steve Taylor Mr Taylor Thank you for your e-mail. We are carrying out responsive repairs to the areas that exceed our intervention levels.With regards to the other areas mentioned there is going to be a planned patching program of works to be carried out from April 2010 and these areas will then be addressed accordingly.When I sent my e-mail to you on the 23 /2/10 the areas checked did not exceed our intervention criteria but due to the severe weather have since deteriorated I should of stated on my e-mail of the 23 rd of February that we would continue to monitor the situation and act accordingly please accept my apologies. Kind Regards Hounslow Central Area Team" |
