The bollard issue raised. </p> <p>What else should be on the snagging list? </p> <p>West end drop kerb - I made the mistake of going straight on today in the dark, rather than taking the dogleg and heading for the toucan. </p> <p>I was timing it carefully because there was a cyclist coming on the road, but thought I could slip onto the road and out of his way. Except I'd forgot there was no drop kerb. Ouch. </p> <p>Also, the leaf build up is narrowing the newly widened pavement. What do we do about that? </p>
