The setts in the Gill are dangerous.

James Airey promised a response to this video by yesterday :

" I am pushing for work to be done on the setts and will have an answer to timescales etc with you before Friday. "


So far , I've received nothing.

Admittedly getting blood out of a stone would be easier than getting a commitment from Cumbria Highways Department.

Who's in charge?

Us - through our councillor or the County Council who appear to be a law unto themselves.

Steam is building up here in the Gill to do this job well ourselves. Work is planned to start in August 2010 . . . . .

Other authorities are being consulted on how the technique of laying the setts without cement is done from experts in Dublin where this is their practice.

Dear Geoff

The setts on the Gill were looked at by Highways on Wednesday after I chased them again, a works order has been placed and the work will be done within 6 weeks. Hopefully as soon as possible but no longer than 6 weeks.

Regards James.


(That's by the 20th August)

My reply:

"Many thanks,

What work do they plan to do when they do it?

Will you be supervising/checking it?

Best wishes

Geoff"

A result :

Well done:

What mark out of 10?

Bear in mind the difficulties involved!
