    We will continue to monitor all defects to ensure the safety of our residents as part of the NMMP which can be found online - http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/ transport/ roads-strategies/ highways-asset-management.aspx

  • Originally reported on 15th January. As of today (12th February) the fallen tree has not been removed. Dangerous to pedestrians, as they are being forced to walk in the road to avoid the fallen tree. Presumably if they are struck by a vehicle, the local highway authority will be held to be liable for failing to remediate in a reasonable period!
