After reporting Crescent Roads surface issues over the past year, then recently highlighting that micro-surfacing that was scheduled to take place, Conservative councillor candidate for Birkdale Lee Durkin is overjoyed for local residents at the reassessment of Crescent Road and the works being carried out.
Mr Durkin first reported Crescent Road in August 2020 and again in February 2021 after motorists, cyclists and even pedestrians contacted him with their concerns.
Birkdale’s Lee Durkin said: “I am truly delighted that Dowhigh, who are one of the largest independent public works companies in the region when it comes to roads, have assessed that micro-surfacing, as stated on the Sefton Councils website, is going to be upgraded to resurfacing after Mr Murray, who is a representative of Dowhigh, assessed the condition of Crescent Road.
“Dowhigh have completed projects including Lord Street and are currently carrying out works on Marine Drive, they are clearly a company that has the community at heart.
Mr Durkin continued: “Crescent Road has been an issue raised time and time again and at long last we will see a result we can all be satisfied with. I brought this issue up last year and after some remedial works were carried out the road surface fell into deeper disrepair which led to me raising the issue again.
“I’m thankful to Mr Murray for taking time out of his schedule to meet with me and explain the works which will take place this week to ensure Crescent Road returns to a safe useable road and that Grosvenor Road will also have remedial works. The Crescent Road section will see works commence on Tuesday 20th April and I would take this opportunity to thank both Dowhigh and Sefton Council in seeing this work carried out.”
