Sat Navs taking drivers to a blocked/closed road, 18th July

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 14:54:57 +0100
53.619282 -1.346795

Yesterday I re-directed 8 drivers trying to get to Hemsworth Water Park. This is a regular occurence on my daily walk. They are being directed to the park through the farms but this route is closed with a barrier on the farm side of the railway bridge (see pic from Google Maps). Not sure who to report it to. Highways Agency re-directed here.If its not possible to update SatNavs via a central point could the council consider putting a sign up at the Station Road end of the Farm access road. It would save drivers on fuel etc and be better for the environment. Best wishes. paulcdunn@sky.com

Broken glass, 6th April

Tue, 06 Apr 2021 12:26:52 +0100
53.621824 -1.353681

There seems to be a lot of broken glass from beer bottles around the old golf course and towards Vale Head Park and Hemsworth Waterpark. We walk our dog and 6 year old around this area and are concerned it is getting worse and no one seems to be clearing it. I u sweat and it will be teenagers and they currently have no where to go but glass is dangerous for children and dogs. I notice the bins are tended too, does no one clear the other areas to keep them nice and safe for everyone?
