I was made aware via social media of a building site on Briton Hill Road which seems to have spilled out onto the pavement causing pedestrians to have to walk in the road unnecessarily. By all accounts it seems to have been an issue for quite some time. I reported this to Council officers and via the Love Clean Streets App on the basis of the reports I had seen online and I also visited myself this afternoon. It was worse than I expected.
I will ask Council officers again to take a look at this particular site as it is encroaching on the public highway to a considerable extent.
Builders are allowed to use part of the highway if they have and display the necessary permit. If you are inconvenienced by builders who are encroaching on the highway, do get in touch at helen.redfern@croydon.gov.uk and we can look into it.
