FIXMYSTREET IN HG3 2WN
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of HG3 2WN:
Deep & wide potholes on narrow stretch, 18th April
The road just up the hill from the bridge is breaking up. It's also very narrow so there's no opportunity, if there's oncoming traffic coming down the hill, to steer round the potholes. Drivers just need to drive through the catered surface and accept any wheel or tyre damage. Its not acceptable.

Large vehicles passing Killinghall CoE Primary School at peak times, 17th April
Hello. Your vehicles are passing Killinghall CoE Primary School at peak times, Yorkshire Water who have works going on up Crag Lane have agreed not to send large vehicles up Crag Lane at peak school pick up and drop off times as the lane is narrow and their vehicles are very large and passing the children close to pavements is scaring them. There are parked cars around that area at peak times which does lead to your vehicles having issues passing. If you speak to Yorkshire Water about this they'll tell you about their agreement to limit access at peak times (my case with them ref V424891). I have evidence of your vehicles driving up that route at peak times having issues passing parked cars; 1st March 8:57AM vehicle reg NX73 SXD, 11th April 8:40AM vehicle reg YJ18 MUC.
Please can you look to limit your access on this road to outside school peak hours. Just to note this has been reported on my the local press previously also, see: https://thestrayferret.co.uk/yorkshire-water-apologise-after-lorries-pass-killinghall-school/
Thank you

Uneven surface, 1st December
The beige, quick fix, “safety surface”, has unsurprisingly become more of a hazard than any original problem. Chipped off, worn away, uneven and DANGEROUS. If my wheels are bobbing up and down they’re not in constant contact with the road surface are they? This, of course, increases braking distance. DO NOT USE THIS STUFF. Tarmac. That’s what you want.

Temporary Traffic Lights Not Working Right Causing Major Back-ups, 17th November
The temporary Traffic Lights at the jubilee roundabout in Harrogate are not timed correctly and are causing major backups especially down Pot Bank. The four way Lights are ridiculous and Penny Pot Lane should simply be closed for the duration of the road works and a diversion route should be indicated instead.

The path is dangerously overgrown., 3rd August
The path is unsafe due to overgrown grass/woodlands/ etc etc. The path is used a lot by both pedestrians and cyclists and is dangerously overgrown (possibly 50% of its width covered) and slippery. It needs cleaning up and would not be a big job at all. It hasn’t been looked at for over a year - and when it was last done was only after my mother in law had slipped and we messaged on here. Thanks.
