Some repairs are said to be more than a year overdue.
Julia Buckley, who represents Bridgnorth on Shropshire Council and sits on Bridgnorth Town Council, says that while the average completion time for highway repairs in the county is 36 days, many repairs in Bridgnorth are more than a year overdue.
In a submitted question for Shropshire Council's next full meeting of councillors on May 11, Councillor Buckley said:"During the April cabinet meeting, portfolio holders and senior officers discussed the current Kier Highways Term Maintenance Contract, describing Kier’s performance as 'some aspects of the contract are performing well and offering good value for money'."
"However, this does not reflect the experience of Bridgnorth residents since the closure of the highways depot in our town in September 2021 by this administration.The councillor cited a number of examples of crumbling infrastructure around Bridgnorth, including Queensway Drive, where there is a broken tarmac footpath and ironwork trip hazard that was reported for repair in March 2022 - 13 months ago.
