Or This:
Thornes Lane, southern cul de sac – zero lot line 3 story “industrial style” housing towers over new villa
New owner- occupiers are asking for footpaths! :
"TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
I am writing this letter for Council's prompt attention.
As a frequent visitor to Thome's Lane at Brompton and also as the owner of a 2 year-old townhouse investment property in Hawker Street, Brompton, I am appalled at the apparent lack of
responsibility for safe and appropriate paving on the roadside footpath in front of new developments.
It is both unsafe and unsightly to have muddy, unfinished surfaces in the public areas in front of new developments. I recently visited residents at Thornes Lane with my elderly mother who nearly
slipped on the unsure, muddy surface. This is an appalling state of public walking areas in a major redevelopment. Surely Council has a responsibility to keep on top of new public path requirements
when a new development is completed or nearing completion. At the very least, there should be rigid standards and expectations by Council of developers if Council believes it is not their
responsibility.
I trust that Council will do the right thing and rectify the situation either by taking direct responsibility and finishing the path properly or compelling the developers to do so. This should not be a fight that residents have to take up when it concerns public areas and the safety and overall aspect of Brompton.
thank you”
