QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor A.M. Dermody

"To ask the Manager to provide feedback as to the progress made by the Council since receipt by a Resident of the following request for service.  This request was received over 2 years ago and remains outstanding.  I have copied the seminal point as follows: “ could you please re-paint the Stop lines at the Butterfield Drive/Crescent junction. These lines have not been re-painted for years , and have been tarmac-ed not so long ago, but the obscured lines were not re-painted then, or since. Due to parked cars on both of the above roads, visibility at this junction is restricted to the point where there have been many 'near misses', due to drivers ignoring the Stop signs and lines (I was 'near-missed' twice recently). The Stop signs here are badly in need of a coat of paint”.  It appears that that request was send through and acknowledged by SDCC on or about the 11th of February 2011 and still remains unresolved.   Inaction or inefficiencies like this will not be tolerated in the current climate of tax payers having to pay property tax?"

REPLY:

The faded road markings will be re-painted on both sides of the Butterfield Drive/Crescent junction as soon as weather conditions allow.
