Hi Sally,
Better not wait - the more complaints they get, the better!
Maybe we can also make another complaint from ECCO as a group - will
suggest at next meeting.
The response to our first group complaint is still outstanding - they said
at first they'd reply by 9 Sep, now they said it wouldn't be until
October...
Cheers,
Fides

Hi Sally, I have contacted Streets Ahead about the lines on Newington
Road (Anne pointed them out), and they are looking into them.

Yes, I am just about to raise it with Amey, as the double yellow line at
the bottom of Newington (even numbers side) is higher than before and the
single line that should be over the gateway is higher too and not at all
near the gateway. The result is the loss of about 3 parking spaces.
And yes I think it would be good to coordinate our complaints Gorden.

Is it worth raising again that the double yellow lines are not drawn
where they should be, according to the notices published last time the
roads were resurfaced? There could be half a dozen more free spaces is the
lines went as close to Brocco Bank as they are on some roads off Ecclesall
Road.
Does anyone know how the council decides how many parking permits they
can sell to give people an "acceptable" chance of finding a space?

Dear neighbours,
Everyone I have talked to on Newington and Rossington Roads is very
upset at the poor quality of the recent work resurfacing the two roads,
especially compared with the now completed work on Everton Road.
Individuals have made formal complaints, and ECCO has also lodged a
complaint.
Attached is the contents of a reply to David Black about why our two
roads were not given the same treatment as Everton Road (and many other
local roads), previously circulated on ECCOTalk.
Note that the issue of whether our two roads should have been given the
same treatment as Everton Road is distinct and separate from the issue
of the quality of the work actually carried out.
Now the work appears to be finished I think that as residents of
Newington and Rossington Road, we should coordinate our complaints and
petition the council as a group, both about whether we should have had
the same treatment as Everton road, and about the quality of the work
actually carried out. Note that in the letter to David Black, Philip
Beecroft states 'The site has been inspected and I can confirm that the
micro surfacing has been carried out to a good standard.'
If you disagree that the work is 'to a good standard', please reply to
me at gordon.ferguson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx (or share on ECCOTalk), and also
indicate if you have made any formal complaints. Please also include any
observations of the work that you witnessed whilst at home. Please also
talk to your neighbours, especially as not everyone is on ECCOTalk.
Once all your observations are received we (if you wish) can put
together a petition to the council from all residents of Newington and
Rossington Roads. We can also consider inviting our councillors to our
December ECCO meeting to hear our complaints.
Regards,
Gordon
