Millfield's Estate action?

Jim's passed me the newsletter from the Mitton Independent Health Concern councillors regarding the appalling road conditions of the estate (photos). The short description of he view from the WCC is that due to the very bad workmanship and costs it might be at least three years away from an adoptable standard that is if it ever achieves it at all. If it doesn't meet that quality it'll remain private.

So to my mind the question is was planning permission granted with the expectation that the roads would be built to adoptable standards, or was only the SRR section mentioned? Of course I've mentioned that the island on the SRR was supposed to be level with Mill Road is it? So why weren't remarks made then about the workmanship?

Anyway in the face of the apparent disinterest on the part of WFDC and WCC the IHC suggest the formation of a Residents Association and/or Neighbourhood Watch Scheme(?) Perhaps a part of that could be having a word with the emergency services and asking how they feel about attending/patrolling an entire housing estate made up of roads like this? The next is that if the roads remain private who will be expected to pay for repairs and was this possibility mentioned in the deeds of the new home owners?

So far no sign of an equivalent Conservative newsletter from the remaining two Mitton Ward councillors, but an eye is being kept out for them.
