Flooding across road, 27th February
There is still flooding across the entire carriageway which freezes when the temperature falls. I have seen 3 accidents there where cars have hit the ice and left the road in the last 2 months. You've said before, it's run off from the fields, but it was continually flooding all last summer, so think the drainage needs sorting out.

Pothole & Flooding, 27th February
There is serious flooding each time it rains heavily which obscure a large deep pothole which has been present for months despite having been painted round a while ago. As cars swerve to avoid the flooding, the are in direct line to hit the pothole. There is also a sunken drain on the opposite side (heritage side)by the kerb which drivers also swerve to avoid which means traffic in both directions are hugging the white line. It's only a matter of time before there's a nasty accident.

Blocked drains, 9th January
You don’t seem to have a category for blocked drains, but the drains are blocked all along the road to the point you have standing water on the carriageway and any salt you lay down in this weather will just be washed away, leaving you with black ice on a sharp bend. You also have a blocked drain with water running down the road on the other side after the bend near a house called White place

Tarmac road has subsided around manhole., 21st August
This problem has been here for months and my garden backs onto this road. Every time a car goes over this it creates a horrendous noise. Obviously all hours of the day and night. I’m hoping that others who live in the actual close have highlighted this problem It will only get worse and will cause damage to the drain and public highway. I appreciate it being looked at very soon please.

Overhanging hedge, 1st August
The hedge alongside the house at junction of Allwood cres and Downsview Drive is very overhanging and I have watched an elderly gentleman negotiating it with a walking frame and his nurse/carer was unable to walk along side him. There are other hedges nearby that also need trimming back so that the pavement is returned to its correct width
This hedge has been reported by me before, and I got the message that it had been resolved!!! But in reality nothing has changed. The hedge still covers a lot of the pavement

Weight limit Sign Down, 28th July
On 13 April 2023 I reported the fact that the weight limit sign at this location had fallen over, due to rust at the base. Nothing has been done. As a result we are getting many overweight lorries along South Road as the drivers will state "what sign, I did not see one". I did receive an email message (from Bettine Hodges) stating that a Highways Steward has been assigned to the problem, but since then nothing seems to have happened. Why not?
