Splashpoint Downgraded


Tenbury Town Cllr Margaret Austin has campaigned for over 6 years to get the notorious splash point (in Kyrewood Road) problem resolved.

At the Town Council meeting in October 2008 Mr J Wallace – WCC Highways Liaison Engineer, promised to get the problem fixed, and the work was scheduled to be completed in April this year.

The Town Council have now been told that it has once again been downgraded and described by the new WCC roads man as "Not a risk to Motorists" and therefore not a significant problem.

There are currently no plans to carry out the work. Shame we can't glue him to the spot next time it rains!

One day that water will freeze, someone will lose control of a car and plough into a pedestrian or the bridge. It may take years, but one day.....

What annoys me is that the WCC official regards the motorist as king and sod the pedestrian.

I am both, and have been soaked a number of times in Tenbury by cars splashing through puddles. I don't particularly blame the drivers as the roads are so narrow it is unavoidable if there is oncoming traffic.
