I've received an update from Council officers after pushing them to act urgently to repair the Hartley Hill soakaway and sinkhole.
I have today been told that works will commence on Monday 29th April and this will take 3-4 weeks to complete "subject to no unforeseen circumstances".
Selsdon councillors hold their surgery on the first Saturday of every month except January and August from 10.00 am to 11.15 am. For some time this has been at the Selsdon Centre for the Retired but as from next month this will be at the Jubilee cafe. The cafe is downstairs in the same building.
I've been contacted by a number of residents, who have raised concerns about the sinkhole on Hartley Hill, road closure and the fact that some drivers are by-passing it. I asked Council officers for an update and received the below response.
Earlier today, 194 people attended an event organised by KENDRA and run by London Ambulance Service Paramedics on how to respond effectively in life-threatening emergencies.
Shirley Heath, Addington Hills and the threat that never actually existed.
The last week has been a classic example of how a small group of people can create a large amount of worry and concern in a very short space of time about an issue that was simply never going to happen.
Eagle-eyed residents will have spotted new signposts and gateway markers popping up around Kenley over the past few weeks and may have wondered why these have been put up.
On April 1st, 2024, the Royal Canadian Air Force celebrated its centenary, a significant milestone as RAF Kenley served as home to 8 RCAF Fighter Squadrons during World War II.
As part of a public consultation about the future of Purley library (and others), library staff will be on hand at Purley library next Tuesday 11/4 from 1100 - 1230.
Please drop in to hear about the current proposals and discuss them with the staff.
