Iron drain much lower than road surface opposite a listed, timber framed building, making it shake each time cars and especially heavy lorries pass over it. The noise is jarring but the vibrations to one of the oldest buildings in Biggleswade is concerning. Please, please make sure the finish is flat. We don't want more cracks from the reverberation. .

  • 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
