Another Unreported Incident

In this day and age of instant communication. I really do have to ask myself 4 weeks after quite a dangerous incident on Forshaw Heath Road that Closed the road Left us without electricity Caused chaos  for  a few hours Police were in attendance from which Police Force I don’t know The red cross arrived as it was so cold providing hot drinks.

The incident was a crane that somehow ended up in a ditch. The attempts at trying to move it caused it to topple and catch the electricity pole which is why we ended up without electricity. The side of the road and the ditch were badly damaged leaving quite a deep hole at the side of the road. For 4 weeks it has been surrounded by bright orange barriers which wrongly we presumed were put there by the highways department.

Anyway one of the neighbors called Warwickshire County Highways to find out when the hazard hole would be fixed. Surprise Surprise they knew nothing about it.

Now call me silly shouldn’t the police whichever force they came from have reported this road traffic incident  to the highways department so as

They have an accurate record of traffic incidents

When the locals campaign for lower speed limits they can rely on the fact that WCC make decisions on accurate information and not spurious

Although we now have a new 50 mph limit this stretch of road it should be 30 mph and it was so frustrating to be told last year that WCC Highways had very few if any recorded incidents when in fact residents could reel them off.

We now have an incident number for this road traffic incident. I am now just wondering if the WCC Highways has a record of the crash 4 weeks ago that happened within the same 100 yards of road.

Makes you wonder really doesn’t it !!!!
