The team's 'primary focus' was to look for defects which posed a danger to motor vehicles and not cyclists or those on two wheels
Four highways workers sent out to repair a dangerous crack reported to council bosses with pictures failed to spot the huge defect which four months later caused a cyclist's death.
One of the pictures shows the council chairman's wife Beverley Hull with her hands inside the deep crevice. When Mr O'Donnell saw the images he said he was "concerned" and vowed to "look at it immediately". One of the highways operatives who visited Island Lane on September 15, Richard Hull, agreed that the team's "primary focus" was to look for defects which posed a danger to motor vehicles and not cyclists or those on two wheels.
Fellow council worker Steve Oldham said that had he been shown the picture he would "definitely" have carried out a temporary repair. All agreed that the defect would require a road closure in order to carry out a "proper" repair. He replied: "I don't believe I did miss it. If that was there on September 26 in that condition I would have recorded it."
Mr Williams then said "You say you would have not have missed it" to which Mr Treen replied: "I didn't miss it. It must have been repaired" before suggesting the crack must have "closed up on its own".
