EDITOR – We are a Dental Practice in Park Street, Bedfordview.
We noticed a water leak on the pavement and reported it to the council.
Employees came out and dug a huge hole and I think they repaired it and placed beacons around the hole.
By Wednesday, January 29, nobody had arrived to close the hole.
We called once again and a huge group arrived who filled it with sand and removed the beacons. They told us a separate team would arrive to do the paving.
Unfortunately, with all the rain, one of our patients arrived this morning, February 3, and the sand looked just like a puddle on the paving. He drove into the hole and the back of his car was stuck in this hole.
We fortunately managed to jack the car up and fill the hole with the bricks, which were there and help him out.
Please could this hole be filled correctly to ensure this does not happen again? Fortunately, there did not seem to be any damage to the vehicle.
LEIGH,
BEDFORDVIEW.
