A phone call has just been received from Jeremy Robinson, Water Maintenance Project Manager, Carlisle regarding the repair of Ulverston cobbles in Market Street.
They have undertaken to work with the County Highways to rectify the work needed to bring them back to a high standard.
They are to be greatly commended for this action because , as far as can be ascertained, they had no legal obligation to do this.
They are obviously concerned about their standing with the community and those of us in the town who have worked to get this matter sorted, will want to congratulate them for their actions.
Thank you United Utilities.
Work will be coordinated with the County and therefore will not take place until 2009. In the mean time the cobbles will be re-examined to check whether any remedial work is urgently required to improve the safety for pedestrians.
I will forward your (complimentary !) messages to Jeremy Robinson, though I imagine a lot of people will want to wait to see the actual physical improvements before committing themselves to praise.
As far as can be determine some of problems have arisen because of the lack of communication between the Highways Engineer, Nick Raymond and United Utilities management who state that they were never asked to return to rectify their work.
