The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of LA23 3PJ:
Black Ice due to water drainage issue, 5th March
The is a drainage issue with water, as there is always water on the road in this corner. As a result, if cold enough, this will freeze causing black ice which is impossible to see. I have had 2 crashes now due to this issue, and do not wish this problem on anyone else.

Sheet Ice, water on road, 5th March
Water doesn't drain, leading to sheet ice that is unrecognisable to a driver. I have had 2 crashes where my car has skidded and lost control. First incident was in December 2022, the night it snowed heavily. I am very confident that the road was not gritted to a sufficient standard. Second was yesterday 4th May, on a frosty morning, with cold temperatures and snow on the hills. However, I haven't seen any gritters out the night before, and the same patch of water turned to sheet ice and lost control of the steering once again.

Lay by in very poor repair . Trip, slips and falls hazard, 17th January
The constant flooding has now caused further damage to the lay by and the area around my garage and down to Tower Wood Cottage. The lay by currently presents a health and safety risk, there are pot holes, loose gravel, thick mud, raised drain cover and broken kerb edges, all of which present the potential for slip trips and falls. The lay by is regularly used by residence, tourists visiting the area , pedestrians/hikers , buses and also coaches dropping off children and young people to Tower Wood outdoor education centre. I appreciate this may not be high on the councils priority, but it is long overdue at the very least some remedial action and at the best resurfacing.

Blocked grids causing serious flooding, 17th January
There are 10 drains in the area , but the only effective one is the one located at the bottom of the footpath that takes you up to Park Cliffe Caravan Park, as soon as that gets covered with leaves, we suffer floods. This then causes damage to the lay by opposite and the land around my garage ( this is subject of a separate fix my streets ) . I and my Neighbours have spent too many hours stood knee high in water clearing the drain. The area is subject to an annual cleaning programme, there is a need for these drains to be physically dug out , they are blocked solid with mud, the gully wagon and jetter will not touch these.

State of repair of the lay by situated outside the outdoor education centre at Tower Wood and the lane going down towards Tower Wood Cottage., 8th April
The Lay by is in a poor state of repair, there are raised curbs that present a trip hazard, the road surface is uneven and broken . Between the main carriageway and the lay by itself, there is a verge which is predominantly loose stone, This area regularly floods ( Please see my previous report on this) as a result of the constant flow of water , the loose stone is regularly swept across the lay by, again causing a slip/trip hazard for pedestrians.( I regularly end up sweeping these stones back to the verge) The water has also caused pot holes and ruts down the lane between the garage and Burrow cottage/House. The lay by has become in need of repair and is now very unsightly. With all the work taking place a long the A 592 at the moment, would it be possible for this issue to be addressed before more damage is caused or someone slips and injures themselves.

Blocked Drains causing flooding and damage to the adjacent layby, 8th April
I am the owner of Burrow Cottage, Tower Wood. As you are aware the A592 at this location regularly floods as it is situated in a dip. There are 6 drains in this vicinity from Burrow Beck, north up past the Leisure Centre. Prior to the last heavy rain w/c 18/3/19, 4 of these were totally blocked and had been reported, resulting in the one at the base of the footpath to Park Cliffe Caravan Park becoming blocked with surface debris, causing substantial flooding. The continual flooding in this area has caused significant damage to the lay by at this location and the lane going down towards Tower wood Cottage. I will submit a further report regarding the damage to the lay by etc
