Last month, I welcomed the news that the the unadopted pavements in Marchfield Crescent were being upgraded to a good standard. The City Engineer has confirmed to me that similar improvements for Marchfield Road are imminent (has similar priority in the Unadopted Footways Programme).
I also recently asked about the situation in nearby Marchfield Terrace on behalf of residents and am pleased to say that the City Council has advised:
"Marchfield Terrace has been reassessed at 21 points which is likely to mean it will have enough points to be included in the 2012/13 upgrade and adoption programme once the annual list review is completed in the coming weeks."
Back in 2007, I insisted that the City Council increase its funding on unadopted pavements two and a half fold to £500 000 a year. This was agreed and is making a real difference to poorly conditioned pavements in the West End.
