Bethmar/Gigaclear damaging the bollards, grass and causing pot holes destroying grren isl
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7744082.
Bathmar, contractors for Gigaclear, have caused damage to a bollard on the 'grass island' at the bottom of Brill Road. The bollard was meant to prevent vehicles from damaging the grass, but was put too far from the tarmac road surface to be any deterrant whatsoever. Bucks Highways had told Oakley Parish Council that they would move the bollard, this never happened. There is now a wide and deep rut on the edge of the tarmac around two metres long and it has been over a metre deep. This caused one Gigaclear van to get stuck when its backwheel sunk into the rut. Luckily the hot weather has dried much of the rut now.
