We are a little concerned that the seriousness of the condition of Kelston View and North Way has not been taken very seriously and will continue to pursue this matter.

Kelston View and North Way
Over the past few months the condition of these two roads has become so bad that I have visited the area with Highways officers on several occasions.
It seems that the whole substructure of both of these roads has become unstable and the concrete plates that form the road are cracking and in some cases have badly subsided and are visibly rocking. It seems that these two roads are in need of a complete restructure.
1) Will the cabinet member for Highways and Transport confirm that if officer reports identify that as I suspect a complete restructure of the road is needed make the sufficient funds available for this work to be done?
2) Will he also confirm that he will ensure that temporary repairs will take place with Immediate effect to return these roads to a reasonably safe condition?
3) Will he also acknowledge that as these roads are part of a Major Bus route that their condition should be kept in a condition that allows buses to operate with knowledge that the roads are safe for them to use and deliver the comfort that their passengers expect?

1) There is an approved programme for Capital Improvement works for 2015/16. Officers will assess the condition and if substantial reconstruction works are required, they will be considered for inclusion in a future programme of work.
2) Highway Officers have been asked to inspect the roads reported by Cllr Ball and undertake any essential safety repairs ensuring that the road remains safe and comfortable for all road users.
3) As above.
