Temporary roadwork signs relating to roadway littering footway, 22nd November
There are several signs relating to temporary works on the road which have been thoughtlessly placed on the shared use footway/cycleway to the north. There are four signs on the short stretch indicated, two erect and two fallen and potentially very difficult to see in the dark. Signs relating to the road should be in the roadway, not potentially injuring pedestrians and cyclists.

Warning of give way missing., 22nd July
Give way warning of some description needed here. There used to be one. I have already reported this LAST YEAR, and today there was ANOTHER rear end hit because traffic is unaware of the give way ahead. Does it take someone to actually get hurt/killed before anything will be done. ??

Late amount of litter, 9th February
There is a huge amount of litter on both sides and along the length of the Dalkeith bypass, including the roundabouts and slip roads to and from the A720.
I understand a little will happen, but the sheer volume in this countryside road is shocking.

Deep pothole, 12th January
This pothole is from this winter, but it's on a sustrans cycle route and is right in the cyclists path. It's very deep, any cyclist hitting it would come off and/or damage their bike. I commute past it regularly but due to the light at this time of year I can't easily get a photo. There's a new development being built on this road so it's likely made worse by the heavy vehicles, I don't know if they have additional responsibilities to maintain the access route.

Flooded path, 7th November
This area started as a small puddle, overflow from the pond but has spread over time. Someone has put a plastic brick to step on but this is actually stopping the water from draining into the burn and causing a huge puddle now that is now spreading along the path. It will soon be impossible to pass.

Large length of path very uneven surface, 6th May
This path has been in a state of disrepair for a long time, it has become more dangerous as time has gone on. The surface is very uneven and parts where there are loose stones are almost impossible to walk on. Rain seems to have further deteriorated the condition of the path. This is from the houses at the top of the langside all the way down to the woods at the bottom with only a small area of intact path.
