Green Councillor Natalie McVey was on the front page of the Malvern Gazette last week, taking up the concerns of Cowleigh Bank residents who have been affected by disruptive and over-running roadworks.
Cowleigh Bank has been closed since May 9 as Sanctuary Housing continues working on a new development off Broadlands Drive.
The works were scheduled to end by August 25, but were not completed on time and an extension until October 10 was granted by Worcestershire County Council.
Speaking to the Gazette, the county and district Councillor said:
“I feel dreadfully sorry for the residents who have had their lives turned upside down for over four months. Their daily lives have been impeded, mobility limited and sleep disrupted. The thought of this continuing for another month must be a devastating blow for them."
“I have asked Worcestershire Highways why the works have not been completed on time. I have not been given any reasons.”
