Residents of Ilford South have been plagued by the unreasonable decision by our Cabinet, to not adopt our unadopted roads. This results in untoward road conditions, messy litter strewn areas and overgrown vegetation at these locations. This impacts on the quality of life of residents on these roads and other adjoining areas.
I have some good news however, which is that the Highways Team are preparing a costing for patching works on South Road and Thackery Drive - which they will produce at the next Area 5 Committee on the 23rd of March 2009. This is in response to the numerous complaints and campaigns I have organised to get a resolution here.
Mike Woodward from the Highways team, in a recent email stated:
"I am planning to take a general item report to the next AC5 meeting to cover a number action sheet items outstanding approval. This will include the results of the Essex Gardens and Shepherd Close ball game signs consultation and estimates for further repairs at Thackeray and South Road. I think this answers your earlier email on this subject." It is small solace and could be said to be "Something better than nothing" however I am continuing my campaign to have all unadopted road adopted, which was previously agreed in a Highways and Environmental Scrutiny Panel back in 2006.
After a recent Highways and Environmental Scrutiny Panel it was agreed that a review of all unadopted Roads would take place and a report produced for the priority road at a January 2010 meeting. So the news is not that bad after all!
