RECEIPT OF PETITION – Ongoing closure of Adie’s Alley, Stone
I refer to the petition regarding the ongoing closure of Adie’s Alley, Stone. I can advise you that receipt of the petition will be reported to County Councillor Jill Hood.
Staffordshire County Council as the Highway Authority is responsible for the safety of the travelling public on all roads and footways that are maintainable at public expense within Staffordshire.
Due to the situation of the dangerous structure within Adie’s Alley the decision was made to close off the Alley for safety reasons.
Stafford Borough Council are the building control authority and it is their responsibility to ensure building owners make dangerous structures safe. SCC has a duty of care to the highway and its users and therefore the closure of Adie’s Alley will remain in place for the protection of highway users until the dangerous structure is made safe.
For further updates on this matter, we kindly refer you to contact building control at Stafford Borough Council. More information about building control at Stafford Borough Council can be found on their website - https://www.staffordbc.gov.uk/building-control
Thank you for your petition and for bringing this matter to our attention.
Yours sincerely
Richard Rayson
Community Highways Manager
