The Council have agreed to ask a property developer to pay for repairs on a pavement that was left in a terrible state after new homes were built. The wrecked pavement is on Mount Pleasant Crescent near the junction with Stroud Green Road and Crouch Hill (by the Larrik pub).
The houses were built a few years ago – but a local resident contacted me to complain that the Council apparently hadn’t made the builders clear up after themselves. As the picture shows, the pavement is virtually non-existent and urgently needs rebuilding.
I contacted the Council, who initially said that nothing could be done. But after a couple of emails and an investigation by a highways engineer, they changed their mind have agreed the developer should be presented with a repair bill. I hope that this works, and the pavements can be rebuilt quickly.
Another resident has contacted me about the ugly old railings on this road junction – so I have another battle with the Council ahead.
