Liberal Democrat councillors in Alexandra ward have secured assurances from the Council that Bidwell Gardens, N22 will be fully repaired after the completion of site works at Alexandra Park School in 2004.

The road is currently used as an access route for heavy vehicles being used in the construction of the new sixth form block at Alexandra Park School, due for completion in late 2004. Cllr Wayne Hoban, who shares residents’ concerns about the damage to the road caused by the vehicles, has sought assurances from the Council that the road will be monitored and road damage caused to it will be repaired.

Last week the Council confirmed that they would be carry out ‘all necessary repairs after the completion of the site works’. Cllr Hoban, who has worked closely with local residents in Bidwell Gardens for many months, is pleased by the news, but warned the Council that he would be keeping a close eye to ensure its promises are kept.

Cllr Wayne Hoban comments:

“I am encouraged by the assurances that repairs will be carried out on completion of work on the site. This will come as a relief to many concerned local residents.

“I will certainly continue to monitor the situation and ensure that the Council fulfils its promise to fully repair the road.”
