Argyle St to Stadium

Not all councils are happy letting non council employees tidy up things they are responsible for.
Public liability insurance isn't just for injuries or damage on a company's premises. As a businessman I thought you would know that.

 

I'm sure the council will be very appreciative of your concern for the scope of their responsibilities and protection of the rights of council employees

 

Just because your ideas were nonsense...

 

ok hun

 

So, someone is working on the walkway, as brownbagtiger suggested, and they are injured 9r someone is injured because of them. What happens? Someone owns and is responsible for the walkway.

 

Yeah I reported it over a week ago, shame they couldn't be arsed to reply.

 

Somehow I manage to stand on the public footpath and cut my hedge on a regular basis without injuring any passing pedestrians. And if someone happened to fall over after I finished, tidied away and went inside, then its absolutely nothing to do with me. Well, I might be human and go and ask if they're ok, but it's not my fault and I'm not liable.

Unless they turn up to do the work on match day, it's not an issue, the path is effectively shut at the Stadium end. Hence no-one has noticed how overgrown it's got over the last 18 months!

 

They must have known it was overgrown and in a state, the egg chasers have played at the KC

 

I could write a long reply agreeing with this, but it boils down to whether you are running a quality outfit that has consideration for your customers and an eye for detail. And I think we all have an opinion on whether SMC meets that description or not.

 

Very true, but it depends on who is actually responsible for it.

 

I think you should perhaps consider taking out public liability insurance against digging a massive hole for yourself then leaping head-first into said hole.

 

I don’t think it does, because if you were paying attention you’d notice it needed doing and do something about it, whether that something was doing it yourself or ringing the council and telling them to get their finger out.

 

I have little doubt the walkway is HCC's responsibility, if it wasn't the gate would be further towards Argyle Street than it is now.

 

I suggest you find out about these things before giving your tupennorth.

 

Guildhall and Queen Vic statue could do with a bit of a scrub up. Are you going to get a team together and organise some scaffolding and give them a scrub up? Maybe spruce up the approaches into Hull?

 

There's plenty of scaffolding on the Guildhall, repairs to the roof and the iconic time ball brought back into use.
