Bricknell Avenue Belisha beacons

John Fareham and John Abbott are working to secure repairs to the non-functioning Belisha beacons on Bricknell Avenue near Kelvin Hall School and Wyke College.

We became directly involved with this matter on learning that a member of another political party – we could name the party and the individual, but we won’t – had attempted to report the matter to the officers and then had become abusive and, allegedly, foul-mouthed when asked whether they were calling from a moving motor vehicle.  We now understand that the officers had already found out about this well before we implored them to act and spare the officers concerned from any more unnecessary and gratuitous expletives. It turns out that the delay in making the necessary repairs was caused by the fact that KWL, who were due to be acting on the matter, did not carry the necessary spares in stock and were obliged to order them. We will of course continue to interest ourselves in the progress of this work and to call for it to be repeated should that become necessary.
