Trees flanking Peartwater Road obstruction, debris and flooding., 8th December
There are a row of trees flanking the road to the right as you go into Peartwater Road. These used to be maintained and were just a hedge but have now become enormous. Regularly branches break off into the road and the leaves and debris in the seasonal fall block all the drains causing severe flooding at the top of the road at the junction. Cars park along this road and regularly are hit by branches. This also narrows the road at this point making collisions with parked cars and obscures the view of oncoming traffic. Children walk home along this road from school and an accident is unfortunately only a matter of time. This is a residential area but tractors and large machinery use this road regularly as we are a rural village and large parts of trees smashed into the road is a weekly occurrence. These large overhanging trees need to be reduced again to a manageable level before the inevitable happens.

The blocked culvert is causing the water to back up on the upstream side which forces it to flood over the road, where it ponds and causes a traffic and pedestrian hazard. This is on Barford Road, near Barford Farm at grid reference ST 23288 36615.
