Our thanks to Rufford's Lol Crichley, a QLocal regular, for this update on the danger bollards story from High Lane, covered exclusively on the website last week.

Nobody seems to know whose responsibility repairs are - although they are now taking place as these pictures from Saturday am. show.

Posted here; latest correspondence between Lol and the LCC highways department:

From Lawrence Critchley, Liverpool Rd., Rufford. L40 1SD

I had reported the problem below on a number of occasions in past months and the fact the street lights near the hazards are not working.

As usual we have to wait for accidents before action is taken.
