Hitchin Street from the Market Square down, the kerb-less roadway with gutter covers.
Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 413508.
Hello Highways @ CBC, BTC Councillor Duncan Strachan has asked me to raise with you the state of the gutter drain covers in Hitchin Street again as they have taken another battering and are cracked, crazed and uneven and require your attention. We appreciate that this is a reoccurring situation where HGVs crush the covers at the edge of the kerb-less street area but it presents a public trip hazard. Your cooperation would be appreciated. Kind Regards, Ian Ian Campbell Community Development Manager Biggleswade Town Council The Old Court House 4 Saffron Road Biggleswade SG18 8DL Landline: 01767 313134 Mobile: 07399115198 Mail: ian.campbell@biggleswadetowncouncil.gov.uk Website: https://biggleswadetowncouncil.gov.uk/ Alternative contact: Karim Hosseini: karim.hosseini@biggleswadetowncouncil.gov.uk

Thank you for submitting your Highways report.
We already have maintenance work planned in for this area and the issue will be resolved as part of this work. We are, unfortunately, unable to provide you with a timescale for this to be completed, however, all repairs are prioritised using an assessment matrix in line with our Network Maintenance Management Plan (NMMP).We have attended this area in the last few weeks to carry out maintainence work on the footway.
The paving has been replaced with 6mm Tarmac as it is safe.
Any further works will be looked at on merit due to budget restraints.We will continue to monitor all defects to ensure the safety of our residents as part of the NMMP which can be found online - http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/ transport/ roads-strategies/ highways-asset-management.aspx
Many thanks,
