Residents demand removal of construction hoarding blocking a Devizes sidewalk for 18 months.
Residents and councillors in Devizes, Wiltshire, are demanding action after a New Park Street pavement remained blocked for 18 months by construction hoarding at a 102-home development on the former Wadworth brewery site.
While developer Backhouse says the closure was approved and includes safety signage and lighting, officials and locals cite inadequate signage and ongoing pedestrian safety concerns.
A council meeting is set for January 8 to review the situation and consider shortening the closure.
Wiltshire Council confirms it is assessing compliance with the developer’s licence and minimizing disruption, while Backhouse maintains all safety and regulatory requirements are met.
