I have been pursuing Plymouth City Council for an update on progress which has now been provided.
Repairs are ongoing and estimated to be completed in approximately 8 weeks. This is weather dependent and three additional items of work have been tasked: installing a kick plate, an extension to the height of the guardrail and a new lighting system.
It is hoped that the kick plate and guardrail can be completed within the original contract period. The new lighting system is at the final design stage and awaiting a delivery programme. The existing system of lighting has been repeatedly vandalised since its installation, so options are being carefully considered.
I realise it’s taken much longer than the community hoped and I share their frustrations but I know the council team have worked hard to deliver on this.
