You will remember a few days ago we reported the killer fence to the council. It was reported on the 7th August 13 days ago. The fence in Oxford St fell across a public right of way and a pavement used by children to go to school and pensioners to get the bus. With deadly spikes invisible at night it was a killer fence waiting to happen. We got Brian on the case with no results as the council claimed it was the H&S Exec and they claimed it was down to the council.
Once again Brian stepped in and kicked some butts before someone got hurt. The fence was made safer early today and later on the builders came and tied it up. This makes it a lot safer however its not the real answer all they have done is tied it with string which makes it safe for today. The ultimate problem is the fence is not fit for the purpose as it has spikes on the top were its broke and sharp bits all around the site as the fence is in very poor condition and shouldn't be used next to a public pavement.
We can see in a week or so a few high winds and the problem will be back again but a least now if someone has been hurt they can sue and show the blog as evidence that it was a known hazard and that would show liability
The question remains what would have happen if we didnt have councillors like Brian Silvester its taken 13 days with his help without him it may never have got done three cheers for Brian hip hip
