The kerb/pathway that runs adjacent to the fence on the perimeter of Baywood House (2 Weathercock Lane)

Reported via desktop in the Kerbs category anonymously at 18:01, Thu 30 May 2024

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 407492.

We don't appear to have a kerb on the 'pathway' directly outside our property this causes us some significant issues:

1) when we experience rain, a significant amount of the road muck and debris ends up being flicked up onto our fence, which creates an eyesore but also increased wear - none of it is picked up by the road-sweeper either because 2) a lot of the muck and debris then runs off the 'path' and into the road blocking the grates in the drain directly opposite our driveway; we have had to clear the grates twice since we moved back into the property a month ago 3) as there is no definition between the path and the road, we get people parking outside our house all the time and they end up parking up on the path and with a 3 month old and a pram I often find myself having to walk in the road to walk around the car or to cross the road 4) we get a significant amount of people parking outside our property which creates a visibility issue and a significant hazard as you are unable to see oncoming traffic when exiting the driveway - we have nearly had a few collisions - can we please request that double yellow lines are added to avoid this risk moving forward please, particularly as we now have a young baby passenger

Thanks

Updates

  • We will assess later in the year. Thank you for submitting your Highways report.
    Due to current budget constraints, we are having to prioritise repairs for defects that pose higher risks in accordance with our Network Management Maintenance Plan assessment criteria, the details of which can be found online http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/ transport/ roads-strategies/ highways-asset-management.aspx

    After inspecting the reported issue, our engineers have determined that this doesn't currently feature as a priority for repair. Rest assured, we'll continue to monitor the defect during future inspections. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your report.

    Many thanks,
    Central Bedfordshire Council Highways
