Riviere Terrace, King George V Memorial Walk, Phillack, Cornwall

Oh the frustration!! I have several schemes on the books for completion at the behest of residents but their progress up the priority order is painfully slow. Examples include the re painting of yellow lines at the bottom of Lower Church Street - completed this week but reported eighteen months ago! The land slip on the slope at Clifton Terrace occurred on the 24th December 2012. Works have been agreed to stabilise the whole area but funding is not available, so we wait.....! Finally at Beatrice Terrace 'build outs' were constructed which were unacceptable (by a private contractor) and it has taken a year to get remedial action (at no cost to the Council) to be started. This should happen in the September. The reason - not incompetence or at the end of the day the slowness of the system, quite simply there is too much to do and too little money to do it.
