Junction of Church Lane and Stotfold Road, Arlesey
Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 423420.
The fencing here and the gate to the emergency access road has long needed repair or replacement. I have previously reported some fencing that has fallen down, but over the weekend the gate to the emergency access road has come off its hinges. One post is completely rotten and the bottom hinge will no longer hold the gate. I consider both these problems as urgent as they are dangerous to the public, with a heavy gate and sharp (splintered) wood fencing. Part of the fence was knocked over when a car drove through it (around 10 years ago) and was never replaced. The triangle of land behind this area is owned by Central Beds Council and they recently put a wheel on the gate to assist with opening. This has now broken off.
