The response from the council is totally inadequate. I have lived in Outram Road for 42 years and in that whole time we have NEVER had new slab paving to replace the old and cracked slabs, just occasional replacement slabs and now tarmac. To say this is the fault of the tree roots is an excuse. Other roads have had new paving- Victoria Road, Crescent Road and Princes Avenue to name a few. I was actually promised Outram Road would be on the programme for next year and that was in 2011! I have watched an elderly neighbour in a wheelchair struggle with paving slabs that are a health and safety hazard before he died, and now try to push my granddaughter in her push chair on this terrible and dangerous surface. It is the whole length of the road. The tarmac is an insult to us council tax payers who deserve safe and decent street paving outside our homes.
Dear Councillor Rossetti please take this back to the council and fight our corner for us. It was Cllr Juliet Solomon who took up the case for me in 2011 without any success. Thank you. Katie Chilton no. 57
