Sorry, just remembered I did take this further and received the following response.....On 28/03/2008, Warren Olivia wrote:Dear Councillor PhibbsECS9461 - Paving Stones in Lyric Square - Slippery When Wet (Carol Burge)Thank you for your email of 17 March 2008 regarding the condition of the Lyric Square pavement surfaces.Consideration was given to the performance of the special paving surfacing, including during wet weather, when the Lyric Square was designed and constructed and standard tests were carried out to ensure the paving met normal slip resistance requirements.We have received one complaint about the slipperyness of the surfacing in the proximity of the fountain during adverse weather conditions and, as a consequence, we are now monitoring the situation carefully and will turn the water fountain off if we consider there are avoidable risks to the public.If you have any further queries regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me on telephone number 0208 753 3056.Yours sincerelyColin GlendenningTeam ManagerHighways and Engineering DivisionEnvironment Services DepartmentLondon Borough of Hammersmith & FulhamDirect Dial: 020 8753 3056Fax Dial: 020 8753 3092Email: colin.glendenning@lbhf.gov.uk> Web: www.lbhf.gov.uk>> Nigel Pallace - Director of Environment
