Poor verge repair following recent fibre installation works
Reported via desktop in the Verges - Damaged by Vehicles category anonymously at 12:44, Tue 17 May 2022
Sent to Northamptonshire Highways less than a minute later. ref: 3531632.
The grass verges in Coppice Drive were recently dug up for installation of new fibre cables but have been left in poor state. Outside my house (19 Coppice Drive, Northampton) the verge is very uneven with large stones etc. merely flattened into the ground. As I have some walking difficulties this can make accessing cars difficult. The verges were also not reseeded after the work was completed and the grass is unlikely to grow in the stony mess which has been left. This will make it difficult for the council to mow the verges adequately in future.
