Over the past few months, the construction vehicles have completely destroyed the grass verge and parking spaces, effectively removing at least three parking spots along the road and the debris is causing slip and trip hazards to pedestrians. The side of the path has been dug out also creating some further trip, slips and falls hazards to passing pedestrians. The roots that have been grubbed up have also been left in what was once a parking space. this has been there for weeks now. Will the builders be responsible for making good all these eyesores and health and safety risks?
