For over five years, this vital local arterial route has been left in an unacceptably hazardous and dilapidated state. The carriageway is currently plagued by severe road depressions, dangerously raised manhole covers, and failing, sub-standard road patches left behind by utility contractors. This continuous neglect poses an immediate risk to road safety, causes progressive and costly damage to vehicles, and significantly degrades the quality of life for the local community.
We are aware of the Council’s position that full reconstruction has been halted due to unresolved issues involving shallow utility apparatus owned by Virgin Media at the Wellington Road junction. However, we firmly believe that using a single localized utility dispute to justify the total abandonment of the entire section is completely unacceptable and non-viable.
The current state of Holdenhurst Road represents a failure to maintain the public highway in a fit and serviceable condition. We request that BCP Council prioritizes this scheme and allocates the necessary resources to restore this road as a matter of urgency.
