FIXMYSTREET IN CA28 9EE
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of CA28 9EE:
Hensingham bypass, 30th April
Hi i am writing to suggest a change to hensingham bypass traffic lights. Coming down from hensingham to the A595 i suggest the left lane be for going left to Egremont as it is but also change it to go to whitehaven town centre as well. The right hand lane should be to go right along the A595 heading towards Workington because the traffic backs up from the lights at the top of inkerman terrace and as it is now cars going into whitehaven town centre cant go anywhere because the lane is blocked and drivers stop in the junction of the traffic lights. The way this junction is set up is causing massive tailbacks especially at teatime.

Traffic lights timings, 23rd February
The traffic lights aren’t changing soon enough - over the past few weeks traffic has become backed up until the roundabout on hensingham square. Traffic is between 20-30 cars long at any one time. My journey time to work is normally around 6 minutes but due to these traffic lights it’s taking 10-12 minutes. As I am waiting there for around 3 minutes for the lights to change.

Traffic lights program is too slow from B5295 leading onto A595 (hensingham bypass), 21st February
The traffic lights appear to be prioritising the A595 traffic over B5295, even when no vehicles are present on the A595.
This is leading to tailbacks going significantly far up the B5295.
When lights do change over (to allow traffic from B5295 to join the A595), the green light is only on for long enough for 5 vehicles at most to pass through.
This can be further exacerbated by the next traffic lights where Inkerman Terrace joins the A595, as traffic backs fully up and even into the junction (which for some reason isn't a box junction).

Two very deep potholes, 19th February
Two very deep potholes have developed just before the "Morrison's" traffic lights heading out of town going south. They are very deep.

Traffic light pattern malfunction, 4th February
Traffic light sequence between A595 and B5295 appears to have changed and waits coming from B5295 to join A595 are now unreasonably long. Traffic is not being given green light even when there are large gaps in traffic travelling along A595. This started a few weeks ago, prior to which there were no unreasonable delays.

Mulched leaves, mossey areas making path/road slippy, 29th January
Good evening,
Having first contacted Cumberland Council Parks & Open spaces, they've informed me it's yourselves I need to raise this with.
Old Hensingham Road Whitehaven CA28 8PR (the now culdesac at the top of Inkerman Terrace), has quite lot of thick moss and old mulched leaf fall making it very slippy under foot and blocking drainage which could do with some tending to if at all possible please, to make it safer for pedestrians.
Also, a few trees from a plantation are overgrown and when in leaf will once again obscuring part of the pavements, which would benefit from some trimming and thinning.
Many thanks

Traffic lights, 25th January
Traffic lights on the b5259 adjoining the a595 at hensingham bypass only letting 4 cars at a time through even on quiet times and not even on rush hour resulting in traffic backing up to hensingham square causing congestion in the area
Report on FixMyStreet
Traffic lights timings are awry. Traffic from hensingham square can only access the A595 4 cars at a time as the traffic lights are out of synch., 25th January
The traffic lights allowing cars from Hensingham to access the A595 are out of synch, and only allowing 3 or 4 cars at a tine to progress. This is causing jams back into hensingham square and beyond, and increasingly irrational driving behaviours

12”+ pothole in centre or road with vehicles parked on either side, 20th January
Impossible to avoid this as vehicles are constantly parked on either side of the road. Therefore hitting the pothole is not on risking damage to the vehicle being driven but there is also potential for the parked cars to be damaged as the severity of the pothole causes vehicles to swerve when passing through it.
