  • Hi, Can we have an update on this please, the ironwork is still left dangerously on the path towards the road, its a trip hazard and also very sharp in places now the tape has come off.

    The very least I souls have expected is it to be made safe!

  • Good afternoon,

    I can confirm that the barrier is still an issue as no-one has replaced this, however some very kind person has removed the flattened barrier on the path / road due to this being a significant hazard. Would you like the metalwork retuned to you, I will try and find out how it was taken down. Will there be a new barrier put in place as before?
