Beside conifer tree outside 5 Weavers Orchard, Arlesey

The drain cover and surrounding block paving is subsiding. Cars are normally parked on the opposite side of the road meaning traffic driving in & out of Weavers Orchard drive straight over this causing a load noise every time. Also as there are no paved footpaths people have to walk in the road so this is also a trip hazard.

This was reported a number of times a few months ago & recently repaired & closed but the repair hasn't lasted long as the issue is now back.

  • Thank you for submitting your Highways report.
    We already have maintenance work planned in for this area and the issue will be resolved as part of this work. We are, unfortunately, unable to provide you with a timescale for this to be completed, however, all repairs are prioritised using an assessment matrix in line with our Network Maintenance Management Plan (NMMP).

    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

    Many thanks,
    Central Bedfordshire Council Highways
