January
2008 - the state of the roads around Dalston |
| |
Dalston
Parish Council has written to the Chief Executive,
Cumbria County Council, with a copy to Eric Martlew
MP regarding the current state of the roads in
the Parish. This follows a report to the Highways
Hotline, highlighting the damaged signs and the
worst of the many potholes in the road surfaces.
It was suggested that Cumbria County Council should
undertake its responsibility for maintenance of
the highway network with greater diligence. Some
repairs were requested as a matter of urgency
as the lack of response to date was portraying
Cumbria County Council in a bad light and putting
the Dalston community at a higher level of risk.
Please support the Parish Council in its efforts
to try and get something done by reporting any
defects to the Highways Hotline 0845 609 6609
or contact@cumbriahighways.co.uk |
