I write to you because I am surprised that this could happen. One would assume in a public area any use of public property would have some resilience. What equally concerns me is days on there is no temporary rectification although the glass shattering has been cleared. I am astounded as to the level of negligence and would like to know under the FOI the quality of glass that was in the panel, how long it had been there and what could have caused the sudden explosion and how many times this has happened on this route.
