Over many weeks, residents in Grove had to put up with barriers near to the entrance of Wayland Road. This was because the road was in a bad state and needed repair. The barriers were up for so long, we all wondered when the repairs would actually happen.
When the barriers were suddenly removed, everyone expected to see a good, repaired surface, but the top two photos show that the road was actually left in a very poor condition with a large area suffering from subsidence! Residents quite rightly were mystified as to what was going on and contacted me. Well, I can happily report that after chasing the County Council Highways Department they took swift action and made some repairs as shown in the bottom two photos. I have to say that although this is an improvement there are still cracks in the road and, no doubt, further repairs will be needed in the near future. A false economy in my opinion, especially as a footpath (much used by children and parents to Millbrook School) crosses this area of road.
