It was brought to my attention
that the camber of the pavement at the north west corner of the Lawrence Street/Brook
Street junction causes some difficulties to wheel chair users. I raised the
matter with the Road Maintenance Partnership and have received the following response:
‘… the characteristics of the footway on the west side of the Lawrence
Street/ Brook Street junction are less than ideal. Although no actionable
defects have been noted with the location, improvement works have been
identified and a number of improvements are being considered. These may include
renewing the footway surface of the corner section, altering the up stand of
the kerbs to lessen the gradient and re-locating the sign pole. An order will
be raised once proposals have been decided upon with a view to these works
being carried out this financial year.’
