Bricknell Avenue cabling works

John Fareham and John Abbott have been investigating the sudden reappearance of cabling roadworks on Bricknell Avenue of which local residents received only 24 hours’ notice.

Local residents contacted us on the day that the excavation works began and have since furnished us with the letter they received from the contractors dated 14th May stating that the work was due to start on the 15th.  We have been liaising with residents who live right near the works and who have complained about the appearance of cracks in their interior house walls; if you see any such cracks in your walls – and of course we hope you don’t - we suggest you contact the Council’s Insurance Section in the Corporate Finance Department of the Guildhall on 613520 or 613517. If you can take photos of such cracks they will be able to advise you on where to send them and will take the necessary enquiries from there.  We have also contacted the officers and Balfour Beatty to request an explanation of the lack of notice to local residents and ourselves.
