QUESTION NO.3

QUESTION: Councillor M. Lynch

The pathways on Whitechurch Road are in a bad state of repair and are disintegrating in places. See attached map. There is also uncut greenery and brambles along the pathway. Both if these issues are causing a health and safety hazard for users of the pathway. Are these pathways on the schedule for repair and if not, could an engineer be assigned to examine the area with a view to having them repaired.

REPLY:

SDCC carried out some repairs on Whitechurch Road in 2021 and 2022 but were advised by the resident engineer on the Whitechruch Stream Flood Alleviation Scheme that paths on Whitechurch Road would likely be excavated as part of their future scheme.

It was decided to suspend any future footpath repairs until the extent of this scheme was known.
