Could do with some advice, as I’m pissed off..
Back in January, a massive dumper vehicle passed through my village, narrow road, and cars have to park on the side of the road in some parts of it - on street parking. It tried to fit through a gap that it was never getting through, and it caused £4500 worth of damage to my car.
Now, the thing is, the vehicle was working for a sub contractor on part of the HS2 project. The guy apologised etc and his boss sent some flowers to my wife, who’s car it is, by way of an apology, which was all fine. The car is fixed now and assume the costs were all recovered from them.
Anyway, my gripe is, I want to know what risk assessment was done when planning a route for this passing traffic to determine that the street the incident happened on was suitable for heavy plant vehicles to pass through.
I made a complaint to HS2 and they passed it onto another company who deals with all this stuff. After 6 weeks of waiting on a response, they basically send me a summary of what happened, and that they have taken measure so that it doesn’t happen again...
well, that’s great. But what about before??
Have I got grounds for compo here, or do I just need to leave it alone?
I’m really bloody annoyed.
