| Skip lorries and construction delivery trucks cause the most damage, damaging kerbstones, paving trees, lampposts and other posts. It is very seldom reported, primarily as it is such a palaver trying to do it online and impossible by phone. It's too late and too slow. I've tried to report one or two of these while witnessing it happening. and is ongoing for hours. Yet the best you can get is a " We strive to respond within 12 working days" A film unit smashed one of the cast iron lampposts a year or so ago. The officers for media were contacted whilst it was ongoing and did nothing, not even internally to the relevant dept. The cost of replacement was never forwarded to the production company. The street lighting people were only informed by residents well after the shoot was long packed up and gone Last week, a wheel nut sheared of a new 65 bus. Tried to report the defect by phone and it will take 14 working days. The acknowledgment came this morning that it will be looked into and responded to in a further 14 days. I've kept the offending article as it hit my vehicle. They were not interested in having it back and as it has sheared on a brand new bus would have thought it imperative to see and examine it. Yet using weedkiller or cutting back overgrowing nettles on the pavement and someone is knocking on doors within hours. |
