Atkins Road
Patching to Atkins Road Potholes has begun
Mar 4th
Potholes in Atkins Road, made worse by the severe winter weather, have been patched after Labour’s candidate in Thornton drew them to the council’s attention.
Ed Davie contacted local Labour councillors Lib Peck and Diana Morris who in turn ensured that officials scheduled the road to be repaired.
Although some patching remains to be done and it is not the full resurfacing the councillors and candidate, not to mention residents, would like to see it has made the situation better.
Ed said, ‘It is good to see that the councillors and council took swift action after I raised this. There has been a positive response from residents but we would all like to see a longer term solution when resources are available.’
The council has so far patched 40% of roads in the ward with plans to repair the rest within the next couple of months.

Dear Resident,
Atkins Road
We were out talking to residents in your area at the weekend when I noticed the poor state of the tarmac on Atkins Road, obviously made worse by the cold weather. We know that potholes are a menace to all road users, but especially cyclists.
I drew this to Thornton Councillors, Lib Peck and Diana Morris’ attention, who will push council officials to get it resurfaced as soon as possible. We hope that there may be an opportunity to do something about the extremely high speed bumps at the same time.
There will be several other potholes that have sprung up as a result of the cold weather – do please let me know about others and the local councillors and I will raise them with Council Officers.
As a local campaigner and Labour Party Candidate for Thornton Ward in the Lambeth Local Election on May 6th, I am interested in any other concerns you might have about issues in the area. So feel free to email or call on the contacts below and I will investigate or pass them on to the councillors where appropriate.
Yours sincerely
Ed Davie
