Access Posts

Reported via desktop in the Pedestrian Barriers - Damaged / Missing category anonymously at 11:29, Fri 6 December 2024

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6826986.

The access posts from Main Road to Cherry Tree Lane are to close together to allow access to Cherry Tree Lane & on to Algernon Terrace. Due to the pavement on the Main Road now having a slot in it for a Services manhole access plate & the posts being to close together you cannot turn a Mobility scooter without damaging the sides to access the pavement. It is not necessary at this access to have a number of posts and they are serving no purpose but to make it difficult to access the village using a Mobility Scooter or ram. Likewise the single post at the Algernon Terrace end is serving no purpose but causing the same problems.

  • Still waiting for this simple item of work to be done. Why does it take Northumberland Council so long to slice through a 4" concrete post with a Stihl Saw & put it into the back of a van. Maybe someone on Social Media might know when it is published regarding NCC's difficulty in doing so.

  • I first made my request regarding two items in Wylam - Access the centre of village on Mobility Scooter obstructed by access Posts in centre of path & Service Provider sunken Manhole protruding on to Public Path preventing turning & no dropped curb to allow access to footpath outside White Medical Doctor's Surgery. In December 2024 & despite again contacted yourselves & Wylam Parish Council have not even had the curtesy of a reply. I think it is shocking that the Council has not the curtesy to reply to these requests & take the attitude Disabled people are irrelevant. Had the council in their inadequate wisdom had not allowed a Service Provider to cut into the pavement for their manhole cover hence obstructing someone on a mobility scooter or a hazard to Pedestrians to turn out of the posts this would not happen. Let me assure you that if a satisfactory reply is not received by the 19th Nov 2025 the whole situation will be posted on Social Media.

  • Posts still there & still no sign of a Council Workman to remove it. Must take some time to a lot a Senior Manager to oversee the job, A Junior Manager to convey instructions top the workforce, Driver to bring the workforce, Driver to drive the pickup with the equipment, A Driver to drive the pickup to remove the rubbish, An operator to work the traffic lights to control the Pedestrians, A Health & Safety Operative, Union Representative , Oh!!! & a guy with a Stihl saw to remove the offending Post.
