I think you will find that unadopted roads in other parts of the borough can also be quite busy with traffic. |

Other taxpayers may complain as per this article from Burnley :- Council 'wasting' £26,000 repairing unadopted Burnley road (From Lancashire Telegraph) |
Re: Now...This is silly and a complete waste of time
No one's come forward with a pot of money to tarmac our unadopted road to the cricket club but I am not gonna bleat about it, at least 3 roads will be more usable, I think that is progress of sorts since some of these unadopted road battles have been going on for over 30 years.:D

Re: Now...This is silly and a complete waste of time
The only point I would query with Cllr Jones is that has he explained the position to the other residents in Hodder Street and to try and get them to contribute to improvement ?

Re: Now...This is silly and a complete waste of time
Does smack of a private road Lindsay .. in which case, haven't got a cat in hell's chance to get funding from HBC. Only my assumption of course.
Would probably have to raise the funding yourselves, or apply for a grant from HBC who do contribute to Accy Stanley ! (my council tax) .. so why not the Cricket Club (maybe they do though, don't know ? ). Think the cricket club is just as important, have produced some great cricketers. |

Not sure Kate, it's an extension of Thorneyholme Road I suppose, the land on either side is County Council owned, but enough traffic uses it and the Lions Bonfire down there is always a draw, albeit a bit treacherous with the potholes and no lighting! :rolleyes: Just adds to the atmosphere!

Kate. The council has tried this in the past not Hodder St, but it's a completely different ball game when you start asking residents for a contribution. Everybody has to agree to make a contribution to the scheme. Although we got about 50% agreeing, it wasn't enough. |

Would possibly complain as a tax payer that money is going to this project, unless it can be proved that these roads are causing problems, e.g. health and safety through drainage, heavy traffic necessary to get from A > B, deterioration of properties, etc. Hodder Street and Manor Street may have a case ... Annie Street .. no, of no use to other constituents at all, not even wide enough for cars to pass, as you well know being brought up parallel to it ... as myself ... :D It's sorta' sad really, that when people buy houses on these roads, they do not appear to have been made fully aware of what an unadopted road entails. |

It's in a better state of repair than nearby adopted streets.:D Can't afford a trip to Blackpool? Drive towards the Bargain Booze carpark, coming off Union Road. Plenty of thrills and spills to be had.:D |

They have been told all the way that I will raise the issue as requested but when 'push comes to shove' and we have costings I won't vote. That's more like a personal interest. They are saying it is prejudicial. Every public / private meeting I say the same thing. I live on Hodder Street. People have had months to raise this issue and no-one has EXCEPT 2 Tories including Paul Barton who is standing against myself on the 4 June in the County Council Elections. Not only that but Cllrs Barton, Dobson, and Bernard (Dawson) voted FOR the improvements at the time and said nothing to Bernard or myself. This is simply myself and Bernard working hard for all of Peel. See pic.

Maybe time for whoever is responsible for the HBC website to check all the Councillors addresses as I think there is another one that is out of date as well. |
