One of the most common complaints I get is about the state of our roads and footpaths. Local residents regularly contact me complaining of potholes in roads, overgrown trees on footpaths and beside roads and uneven (often dangerous) footpaths. Unfortunately it is not always easy to resolve these issues responsibility is often split between Test Valley Borough Council, Hampshire Highways and local landowners (on Andover’s estates this is often Testway Housing).

Recently Testway housing has been very helpful in dealing with tree issues on the estates and Hampshire Highways are promising action on potholes. However there is stil la lot more to be done. The pictures below show just some of the footpath problems reported on King Arthur’s Way over the past few weeks. I look forward to a speedy resolution of them.
