We have tried to get the streets adopted in the past, but it hasn't been possible.

Ossy Area Council could also do something similar, if that's how they decide to spend what money they have.

Area councils get their money from HBC though, so from taxpayers..

It says on the deeds to my house that I actually own the stretch of (unadopted) road infront of my house.

Though I have to allow access across it, which I suppose prevents me from digging it up and planting daffodils...or some cheap Bosnian landmines.

I just want to see Peel doing well. I'll do what people ask me. These 3 streets are a big subject that produce a lot of requests, particularly Hodder as it accesses Arden Hall. It is becoming so deep rutted it is difficult to drive on it. Kim just told me at the area council meeting I brought this up I mentioned I lived there and said 'so I would prefer not to talk about Hodder St'. I want politics to be a race to the top.

is that really relevant? what use they put that money too is the thing.

perhaps TLO could improve the "Ducks n Geese" street with some of that area money.

Forget cars.

I'm going on eBay to look for some bear traps, and only let the religious knockers and flyer posters go when their nearest and dearest have paid up.

They do, but it's the area council that decides where the money is spent. That's the whole idea of area council's. Local decision making.

Got to agree, either sort the roads out or knock the amount that goes to LCC off the bills of people who live on un-adopted roads.

So what your saying is even if the people of lets say Emma Street think their road deserves the money spending there and the people Park Road think their street is more important the area council has the ultimate decision? But still the people of Emma Street have to pay their council tax, seems to me that anybody can see that road needs doing badly.

I'm not sure Bernadette whether Emma St and Park St are the same area council. They could be, I'm Just not sure.

In ideal world we would get all the unadopted streets done up . But it's not going happen in the near future. We have to deal the situation that we are confronted with.

It's not for me to tell other area council's how to spend their money. But I don't see why they couldn't do something similar on Emma St and Park St to what we are preposing in Peel Ward.

I don't know either if Emma Street and Park Road are under the same area council (was just using Park Road as an example could just as easily have said Countess Street) but as you say work on all the un-adopted streets would be nice. At the end of the day it will only be a priority if you are a resident. So is life I suppose

The money still comes from HBC so I don't agree with it being used for roads. Roads are LCC responsibility. Unadopted roads are the responsibility of the house holder.

It would be like me asking HBC to tarmac my drive
