Milnshaw: Damaged bollards at Electricity Street replaced

 

Milnshaw Councillor Paul Cox was contacted by a resident earlier this month about damage to a traffic bollard located at the top of Electricity Street. The obstruction is believed to have been caused by a wagon mounting the pavement on the previous Saturday night. One resident, Mrs Abbott, who regularly passes this area contacted her local Councillor to ask if this could be repaired.

Cllr Cox said, "Mrs Abbott often travels passed this location on her mobility scooter heading towards town. She struggled to get passed the damaged road surface so contacted me to see if something could be done. I made contact with Lancashire County Council Highways department and explained how this was causing some difficulty. After reporting the incident, the Highways department secured the damaged area and replaced the bollard also repairing the footpath within the month."

Cllr Cox added, "I’m glad this work was attended to promptly which has allowed several residents to now use the drop kerb and ramp access into town from Milnshaw Estate. If any other residents have similar issues please feel free to get in touch."
