Highways Action Line

Broken RailingsThis is the second railing in a month that I have seen in Consett where the bolt is missing and the railing therefore dangerously loose.

The last one was outside Boyes store opposite the Library. This one is outside the former Lloyds TSB on the corner of Sherburn Terrace and Station Road.

I don’t know what has caused it, but I certainly hope for a quicker response this time. I reported the last one to the Highways Action Line ( http://www.durham.gov.uk/durhamcc/usp.nsf/pws/8025694D002ACDA4802571C300433915?opendocument ) but got no feedback and the railing was lying in the gutter a week later.

I reported this new one today and will let you know what happens this time. I’d appreciate anyone letting me know what their own experience has been of the Highways Action Line. My first experience was excellent, the second not. I’d like to build up the picture.
