Why not us?

The citizens of Orchard Way are in  revolt...Highways honchos should tremble.

This is in the latest CBC customer service bulletin:


The roads after the severe winter are so dangerous for cyclists especially in the dark.  Not only do potholes damage cars when they hit one but also cyclists are at risk of being thrown from their saddles when the jolt of hitting one causes this to happen.

The attached photos show typical potholes in Orchard Way Cranfield, a side street which is an utter mess.        


Not only are there potholes as shown in the image but patches here, patches there, and likewise the pavements are uneven with all sorts of patches. I have been told that a letter was sent about 5 years ago by another resident and nothing at all has been done about the pavements since then.  However,  Mill Road has had both pavements resurfaced.  We the residents of Orchard Way are being neglected.  At one stage the close off Orchard Way, namely Orchard Close was resurfaced.  Likewise other roads in Cranfield have been resurfaced, but Orchard way..... No!

Agreed, I have a similar situation in Bowling Green Road.....but not to the heady heights of 5yrs.....it's just the one year for us......

But I placed another call to escalate the issue following my daughter getting her scooter wheel stuck in a large crack in the pavement which resulted in the compulsory bloodied knees.....

I commented on the Mill Road Post also in the hope that they were working their way thru the village......alas not.........

More pushing and shoving needed. Shame if your daughter cant play out on her scooter
