Road Works in Melville St.

Melville Street in Torquay is a steep hill and drivers feel that to get up the hill they must attack it as fast as they can and drivers coming down the hill decide that reaching the bottom of the hill at 50 mph is good fun. Now there is an extra hazard, thanks to Torbay Town Hall.

As you walk or drive up or down Melville Street you will have to dodge the barriers outside the Clipper Pub. By now most people will be aware that they are there as they have been there for over 4 weeks. The barriers themselves have fallen over, been knocked over and been moved out of the way by well meaning persons. The Road Narrows ahead signs, of which there are two either side have been also knocked over, blown over, kicked over and are generally a hazard to passing pedestrians who may trip over or step out into the road in front of a passing car.
What has our ever alert Town Hall noticed about the footpath that is so dangerous that they have been forced to erect these barriers and signs in the first place and over the last 4 weeks visit the site to re erect signs and barriers on several occasions so far. Move down to previous post to find out.
