Half finished road sweeping
Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6786757.
I live in Gosshill Road - directly at the bottom of Barfield Road - part of the road is unmade so not maintained by you but the part of the road I live on is maintained by you. I saw a road sweeper when I was out walking this morning - it did a great job of clearing the leaves/debris after the storms all the way down to the bottom of Barfield Road and then completely ignored the next two hundred feet into Gosshill Road (which is a dead end). This is the second time in the last month I've reported this - see reference 6657490 which clearly states I watched them literally drive up to my property and then drive off (I provided photos at the time). I received update from my complaint saying the issue had been resolved however, no one came and swept outside my house so I cleared it as I have done constantly since I moved in in May. I've attached two photos today - I'm standing in the same spot one is taken looking up towards Barfield and the other is looking the other way into Gosshill Road - Given I pay well over £3500 a year for my council tax I'm starting to get fed up with this - please investigate and don't close the issue out until it has actually been dealt with.

I support the concerns raised above and would add that the section of Gosshill Road going to/from Chislehurst railway station is a well used pedestrian route and would therefore ‘encourage’ LB Bromley to use its ‘best endeavours’ to sweep this section of Gosshill Road in line with its schedule for cleaning Barfield Road.

Appropriate action has been taken to resolve the issue.
