With the inclement weather over the past few days, I have had numerous winter maintenance queries from constituents. The City Council’s Roads Maintenance Partnership has updated me regarding resources deployed and I reproduce this below.
The reference to West Park Road is in relation to a specific concern I raised about the road surface there on Monday – there was a minor traffic accident there at the junction with Beechwood Terrace on Monday morning:
