STREET CONTRACTORS SHOULD CLEAN UP AFTER THEIR WORK



Strange to say but when you put in a request to this Council Administrations Transportation department for a bollard or something similar they have a stock reply these days "No" mind you they do try to justify that with the excuse it causes " street clutter".

I find this attitude strange when their own contractor leave barriers, cones, signs and sand bags everywhere long after they have finished working some where.

For example for several weeks barriers have been left dumped on grass verges on Old Oscott Hill and grass where cutters have just gone around them.

One would have expected given the amount of money made available by the last government for the Council to negotiate a contract to upgrade road in the City, there could have been an agreement to fine contractors who abandon barriers and so on for weeks after they finish a job.? if there is its not working!
