THE council has promised to try to help Redditch residents left fuming over the dreadful and ‘dangerous’ state of a lane next to their homes. Watery Lane in Greenlands is living up to its name, with a series of deep, water-filled potholes down its length. But despite their best efforts local residents, including Barry and Yvone Tew, whose side door opens on to the lane, have been unable to find out who owns it and who was responsible for its upkeep. They had contacted the district and county council, Severn Trent Water and Western Distribution (WDP) Power, all of whom had told them – ‘it’s not us.’
