Delivered petition forms yesterday to residents of Spindletree Rise urging Walsall Council to take action as developer set to miss yet another deadline to bring road surface up to “adoptable” standard.
This fiasco has gone on long enough, residents have waited around 2 years for the builder of this small development off Stroud Avenue in Short Heath, Willenhall to put the top surface on their road.
Walsall Council appears to have slipped up when planning permission was granted as it didn’t impose a bond which could have been used to complete the works should the developer fail to do so.
Not withstanding that any developer worth their salt would want to ensure that they completed all works within a reasonable time. Yet here we are around 2 years on from residents moving in and still they have to negotiate around raised drains and manhole covers as yet another deadline passes.
