Downham's lane surface and verge

The state that that the second stage of Downham's Lane has been left by developers has been raised by some residents. The road has been left in a mess, but I have been assured that the verges will be reinstated. The damage to the road surface is more controversial: the builders say that they had made repairs to the surface prior to the works and that they will leave it in a better state than they found it. This may not be the state we would in an ideal world like.

However officers from both the City and County are continuing to chase the developers and I have received an assurance that the worst potholes will be repaired by the builders as a good will gesture anyway.

We will keep working and hopefully have better news soon.

The situation is made more complex as the road is not Highways land but privately owned.
