Bricknell Avenue grass verge protection

John Fareham and John Abbott have arranged for further protection to be put in place for Bricknell Avenue grass verges. A small amount of our community funding will go on paying for the transportation of rocks in storage in Cropton Park and their installation at the run-off area at the Fairfax Avenue lights and at the turning point further down. We have also made arrangements with the officers for grass seed to be sown around the rocks when they are in place and when the risks of road users making further ruts in the carriageway have been attended to. The Council’s attempts to economise include a new rule that no money can be spent without first authorising it via the purchase-order system, which means that it could be a week or two before the rocks are in place, but when that happens ruts at these points in the central reservation will be a thing of the past.
