Traffic calming measures, 3 x unlit/marked chicanes, 20th December
The three chicanes on Cedar Road YO73HF are dangerous in the dark or during heavy rain. They have no visible reflective markings on them, the road is unlit, and if units on the industrial estate have their security lights on you cannot see the obstructions until you are a few feet from them. There have been several incidents where drivers have hit them including my car, which sustained damage to both offside wheels and tyres, the OSF track control arm, both pedestrian collision protection airbags, and both bonnet hinges. I have photographic evidence of the damage caused and once I get my car back from the garage I should have dash cam footage that shows I was traveling between 20 and 15 MPH. There was heavy rain and a floodlight from the end of the road shining directly towards oncoming traffic. Any form of reflective marking on either the kerbstones or on the chicanes would have prevented my accident and others. Along with other residents who have suffered damage to their vehicles, I will be claiming for the damage caused to my vehicle. I did speak to my motor insurance group but they would have written the car off as the cost for new/secondhand parts was not economically viable, I opted to have the vehicle fixed myself so I did not incur an increase in my motor insurance premium, and I am also a named driver on three other policies. The Chicanes have been an obstruction for as long as we have lived there in September 2023. Someone is going to be seriously injured if action isnt taken to rectify this safety issue. If there is snow in the area, drivers will have no chance of seeing the obstructions.

Nuisance Parking, 14th November
A Lge Renault Van parks frequently on/off pavement close to public foot/cycle path leading in/out of Linden Est. for hours on end, and obscures vision for school children + wheelchair access to pavement forcing children/pedestrians to walk on road on muddy grass. This has been going on now for almost 3 years. Van co. name is Geze Reg. DS17 HDJ. Visits Linden property close to its parking, but too lazy to drive into that estate & use proper parking facility. Bin Wagons & other vehicles often have to manoeuvre to pass this van. Please look into this.

Potholes on Access to Sowerby Recycling Centre, 17th March
The access road is one mass of potholes. Today part of the road was flooded from side to side so I couldn't see the pothole that my car dropped into that was deep enough for the car to bottom out. There are many deep potholes on this road and the road is in a disgusting state of repair with more potholes than road in certain places. This is definitely a disincentive for using this site
