Barriers still on road

About 3 weeks ago the gas company dug up downhall road and had roadworks and traffic lights there for over a week. Since then, the holes have been filled in, but the traffic barriers and cones have been left piled in the road causing an obstruction for nearly two weeks, and this is causing problems on the bend and for people trying to leave their driveways.
Our colleague Chris Lumley has actually asked County Highways about this earlier this afternoon, and we look forward to their response.
