Betty Dawes Hill

Over on Jamie's blog he's been dealing with the footpath down Betty Dawes Hill. He's got better lighting put up (about time), but as a true 'ranter' finds he can't stop there.

He complains about the litter - hmm well there's a bin at the bottom of the steps, but I don't recall one either at the top or middle close by the bench (but not too close mind) which Jamie also quite rightly points out you can't use anyway as the seat's been ripped up.

He also mentions the uneven surface; well duh. See the original footpath was made up of slabs and funnily enough the slabs on the steep side of the hill started to separate from the ones on the flatter side. The solution was obvious - tarmac over the lot of it. Now amazingly enough this hasn't stopped the underlying slabs from moving and pulling the tarmac with it and around it.

As for the garages and walls of Ryvere Close are those council property or private property? If council yep they need cleaning up, if private then it's up to the owners.

Anyhoo it's nice that someone's looking at these things even if he hasn't mentioned the pointless cycle bollards, which I saw someone happily cycle through without pause oh and one's lost its reflective band already.
