Poor condition of the main driveway - have your say!

23 Jan 2012

Over the last 6 months we have been receiving ever increasing numbers of complaints from users of our centre, about the condition of the main access driveway from the Stutton/Holbrook road and the damage that the very poor condition of the surface can cause to users cars.  

Maintenance of this driveway is entirely the responsibility of Anglian Water. If you are unhappy about the condition of the driveway, we suggest that you email Anglian Water Group direct to express your views.  If you would like to copy us in on your mail, please feel free to do so.  We suggest that you email as follows:

TO:   Anglian Water Group:               enquiries@awg.com

CC:   Alton Water Sports Centre      info@altonwater.co.uk

Our preference now is that you will take advantage of this information to give direct feedback to AWG rather than complaining to us as we have no power in this matter.
