At Whittlesford Parish Council meeting in March the state of Station Road was raised by residents - not the holes and bumps but rather the silt and mud deposited there by lorries using the road.
In dry weather this produces swirls of dust and grit like something out of a Nebraska frontier town, leading to a number of complaints by local residents.
I contacted the environment enforcement officer at the District Council who passed me on to the highways engineer at the County transport deport on the other side of the railways at Whittlesford Bridge. She has been out and taken photos and confirmed there is a potential offence under the Highways Act.
Now the issue is with the highways supervisor for the area for assessment and decision. We will keep the pressure on to get the road cleaned up and try to get those who cause it to pay for the costs.
