Verge left in a mess
Reported via desktop in the Trip hazard/uneven surface category by Richard Robinson at 15:32, Sun 3 April 2022
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 421661.
The contractors working on st Leonard’s drive on behalf of BT have left the verge in a terrible mess. As you can see from the photos there are large amounts of loose stone left on the foot way, this is the only footway on this road and is in constant use, the stones which have been left make it uneven under foot and also could spill out onto the road.This was a grass verge which is now ruined and the grass will not grow back through the rubbish stone which has been left. Can someone please look into this.

You cannot seriously be closing this down as no further action. It is a disgrace being left in this condition, you can clearly see the large pieces of tarmac and stone just left on the surface, it is mounded up with no effort to compact it and is still spilling onto the footway and road. I hate to think what would happen if the stone was flicked up into car or cyclist. Has anyone actually been out to look at this.

Please be assured that this enquiry has not been closed down with "no further action required". BT have been made aware and a defect issued to their contractor, following a site inspection by Lincolnshire County Council. Further BT works are required in this area next week and we have arranged that they will complete the verge remedial works at the same time. Thank you for reporting this matter.

It has now been more than two weeks since your reply. No more remedial works have taken place, some of the stones have been removed and some pushed down the bank, a little amount of top soil has been placed on top of some of the stone but it is still a mess. Can someone please ensure that the contractors return to complete the work properly.
