Gallos Brook Structure Blocks Footpath Reported by Marc Thielke at 22:54, Tue 7 July 2020 Inside our 30mph zone on Camp Road at the east end of Heyford Park Village on the south side of Camp Road we have one of only two ways for people to walk to the countryside. On the east end of Camp Road we have a nice 2m wide verge going to the Bridleway at the end of Camp Road. Unfortunately this brick structure blocks that walk route and forces pedestrians out into Camp Road. We have 1000 completed homes in the village now and between 5000-8000 cars, HGV and buses traveling this route every day. It is not safe to have people waking in the road around this stream structure. This old brick structure was hit by a car and is broken and the old pipe guard rail is completely detached from the brick. Only the little wooden fence and Armco barrier keeps people from falling in. I don’t accept it is too expensive or premature to cap Gallos Brook here and build a retaining wall downstream. We can not wait 3-10 years for that to happen either as road improvement and masterplans evolve. Please help us put in an improved crossing here by spring 2021. Even a landscape timber footbridge would help save lives.
