Sandy Lane shows on Sat Nav Google as the highway., 17th March
Having reported the error multiple times to Google maps vehicles from HGVs to towed caravans and expecially POLICE FIRE AND AMBULANCE find themselves directed on a single carriageway dirt track which requires HGVs to reverse back to escape and caravans too. It is clearly a huge error and reported by both Parish Council and residents but no help has been offered.we need Google to change the details. Sluice Road is the only access road usable and suitable for vehicular access

2 for the price of 1! inoperable street lights which have almost no markings., 9th March
Bridge Street, Downham Market. Opposite the Town Hall car park (on the opposite side of the road from the town hall).
Not one, but two inoperable street lights, (see photos)
The first is right opposite the car park barrier for AJ Coggles, the second has a rather pointless 'Town Hall' sign attached to it.
Their numbers are POSSIBLY 929 & 930, but the markings on these lights, and others in the area, are virtually unreadable and in need of renewal, (again, see photos).

A1122 flooded again due to blocked gully, 9th February
This is a recurring defect.
This gully was cleared fairly recently but it has blocked yet again.
A1122 at junction with St John’s Way, Downham Market.
Drain/gully in the centre of the roundabout, directly opposite the A1122 exit with the level crossing, is blocked or slow running, causing the roundabout to flood whenever there is rainfall. SEE PHOTO.
Often, about half the width of the road floods, as in the photo, but in heavy rain the entire width of the road can flood.
Being on a roundabout, this is a serious hazard, particularly to motorcycles.

Highway obstruction and safety issues from building work, 9th January
53 Railway Road, Downham Market.
The building that had stood here was demolished some time ago and the land was then left, (see attached photo from Streetview)
Building work has now commenced at the site, with foundations being dug and groundwork under way.
During most working days a mini digger is at work here, very often working from, (while parked on) the public footway. There are regular visits from lorries that also park on the public footway. In both cases the footway is made impassable to pedestrians as a result.
The footway, even when not occupied by the works vehicles, is left is a muddy and sorry state.
When work is underway, the footway is obstructed, with no signage at all and no alternative, signed safe route for pedestrians, with the result that they walk out into the road to get past the obstruction, often with their backs to the traffic.
Most pedestrians are going to the railway station.
When a lorry is parked here, it obstructs the view of the traffic lights at the stop line, and forces vehicles to wait far short of the stop line, meaning they do not actuate the traffic light sensor, so the lights take a long time to change causing traffic from the town to back up unnecessarily.
It seems unlikely that those carrying out the work here have made proper arrangements with the hIghways authorities to accommodate this incursion, (doubtless to avoid paying the fees).
Please can you attend to this situation before someone is injured as a result of the above.

Misleading speed limit signs, 29th October
When exiting St John’s Way in Downham Market the speed limit changes from 30 to 40 mph as you are entering the A1122. However, the signs at this exit state the National speed limit applies which is incorrect because these signs should say 40.

Violent and strange pothole.., 1st September
20, Railway Road, Downham Market. Almost on the centreline of the road at this location is an easily-missed but violent pot hole that is not so much a pot hole as a small but deep depression in the road surface. There was a long-term leak from a water main here previously which may have washed away some of the sub soil. Whatever the cause, this defect needs attention..
NB This is the second report of this defect. - Previously reported through Fix My Street, 23:10, Tuesday 15 August 2023, but not acknowledged by NCC Highways.
