Councillor Routley asked: We are emailing with a humble request on behalf of a truly long-suffering roadway: Bramble Way. This year, bramble way is celebrating its 21st birthday, and we'd love to mark the occasion with a little something special: the completion of its top surface. While we are all thrilled to hear about the £6 million+ you're spending on road improvements, we were hoping you might be able to find a half-penny's worth of spare change to finally finish this job. We understand the money for this top layer changed hands around the time of the road's conception, and we'd hate for it to turn into a "we're-waiting-on-the-Welsh-Government-for-funding-so-it-will-be-considered-along-with-other-similar-roads" situation. We're so glad that our road is in a safe condition and hasn’t exceeded your intervention level (allegedly), but the residents of Bramble Way would love to celebrate 21 years of patience with finally, success. Councillor R Howells responded: As you will be aware, the Councils Highway Asset Management Plan (HAMP) places the current highway maintenance backlog at £119m. Therefore, whilst the £6Million investment is the biggest for over a decade, it is not possible to resurface every road we would like to. Inspections are carried out in accordance with the councils HAMP and Highway Maintenance Manual and funding allocated as a result. The surface of Bramble Way may be considered aesthetically poor, but it is in good structural condition with no defects that meet the councils defect intervention criteria.
Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
