A resident recently contacted me about the condition of the carriageway and the badly worn yellow lines in Oakley Place. I raised the matter with the roads maintenance partnership manager who agreed that the road surface in Oakley Place is deteriorating which is impacting on the ability to refresh the yellow lines.
Apparently the street didn’t meet the requirements to be included in the capital resurfacing programme for 2013/14; however I am advised that it is in a provisional programme to receive treatment in 2014/15. In the interim the channels are to be swept and some hot material placed there to allow the yellow lines to be refreshed. Any actionable defects on the carriageway will also be repaired.
On visiting a constituent nearby I noticed that this interim work has commenced.
The street will continue to be inspected and any actionable defects repaired until the formal works are undertaken next year.
