Paper petition details

Regarding the dangerous state of the pavements in Northumberland Road, from Monks Avenue to High Road, Whetstone.

Following a site survey (19th June 2017) Paul Green the Clerk of works for the London Borough of Barnet, agreed that our pavements were in need of refurbishment and was questioned as to why the work had stopped at the junction with Monks Avenue instead of continuing up to the High Road.

The residents of the whole road pay their rates, a proportion of which should ensure that we can walk safely along our pavements.

Amongst those signing were at least two disabled people, one of whom has to use a zimmer frame and is sacred to walk to the letterbox, and also this does not include the residents of the care home at number 24.

In the event of any accidents, damage or injury as a consequence of the faulty paving, the council will be held responsible and this letter will be made available to be used by any residents, who wish to claim in a court of law.

If we fail to get s satisfactory response from Ms. Prescott-Nelson, we will be forced to take this matter further to our MP Theresa Villiers and if necessary the Mayor and his councillors.

We, the residents of Northumberland Road, expect the repair work to be carried out imminently and would like to be informed when this is likely to happen.

We enclose a scanned petition which has been signed by all residents, with the exception of 10 households, from whom there was no answer.
