Lack of Pavement Maintenance Causing ‘Safety Issues’

A Braddan Commissioner says there are ‘safety issues’ with pavements in the parish being overgrown with grass and weeds.

Dan Stevenson believes a section on Ballaoates Road means people have to walk on the road and would ‘struggle’ to push a pram along the path.

The local authority believes the root cause is the lack of maintenance on the pavement which is ‘disintegrated’ and is calling on the Department of Infrastructure to resurface it.

Safety Issues

Mr Stevenson says the commissioners are trying to be ‘proactive’ and tackle it before members of the public.

The Department of Infrastructure has been contacted for comment.
