A contractor working at 8 Spencer Avenue had a load of foundation digging spoil removed with a grab lorry this afternoon, and the operator's negligence has damaged the pavement, posing a danger to pedestrians. There is a 4-foot-wide crater in the concrete and asphalt pavement, which is a trip hazard and will need to be repaired urgently.

Council ref: ENQ251050347

    It's now over 2 weeks since first report and this issue is still there It's an accident waiting to happen. A pedestrian going over or a child on a bike/scooter hitting it. Needs fixing ASAP. There is still building work at the house, if one of their contractors damaged it, then contact them for information

  • The damage has been repaired, however the contractor has merely dribbled sand around the edge of the tarmac, and there is no wet tar seal underneath this so the job is below code standard.
