Investigating
O/S Falcon and Gannet Courts as part of Earlsfield Estate Grantham, NG31 7RR
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council 1 minute later. Council ref: 2810275.
Customer has stated that there were works a week ago that was for resurfacing the pavements and they stated that the left-side of Trent road and the adjoining footways into the courts on this side have all been resurfaced but not on the right-side of Trent road and the adjoining footways to the courts there. Customer is wondering when this will be done or if there are plans for this.

Thank you for your enquiry. As part of the site selection for footway micro surfacing we require the footway to be uniform, with minimal patching requirement to ensure we receive best value for this cost-effective product. On inspection it was noticed streets such as Gannet Court, Mallard Court and Goodliffe Road were in far worse structural condition that require a more expensive repair and require full reconstruction, rather than applying a surface treatment. This is further supported by vehicles mounting the pavement due to the tight geometry of some of these streets, and further strengthening is required. The Highway Authorities strategy to preservation programmes such as footway resurfacing are founded on the philosophy: keep the "good" footways in good condition, fund reactive repairs as necessary and develop a long-term capital improvement strategy for reconstruction of the streets in poor condition. The cost of reconstructing footways is extremely onerous; therefore, it is much more cost-effective to intervene in the early stages of pavement deterioration. Although this appears counter-intuitive; by managing the risks, it does deliver the best "whole-life" value for public money Thank you for reporting this matter.
