FIXMYSTREET IN BN8 4SB
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of BN8 4SB:
Uneven road surface, 11th April
This road surface has been like this for many years, even though you have said that you would monitor it. I have not seen anyone periodically checking. But as I live in the area I can tell that the road surface is getting worse and something needs to be done about it, we get cyclists hurtling down the road braking at this spot as it’s a bend in the road and for motorists this is also an area where they brake as they’re coming down the hill so on safety grounds it needs to be filled

Problems at T junction, 8th November
Due to all the cars parked in front of the T- junction which according the highway code is not allowed and people parking there cars along Allington Rd this scenario of the school bus not being able to go up Allington rd and cars can’t come down the road. This also is not just with the school bus, but the bus that goes to Lewes has the same issue. This T-junction becomes a bottleneck if you wanting to drive past the junction you can’t. You have to wait until everyone who wants to go into the junction has done so something seriously needs to be done. This is why you now need to have double yellow lines along this section of church Road and up Allington Road.

Public footpath moved, 18th October
On the Sussex Ouse valley way the public footpath has moved 20-50ft from where it is meant to be. In the photos the redline is where the footpath was originally and the blue line is where it is now. In the field, they have dug a very very large hole for what seems like no reason whatsoever and the fence is not in keeping with the other fences they have around the fields this fence has barbed wire along the top. Are farmers allowed to move public rights of way when they choose to or do they need permission?

Recycling not collected, 9th October
We are on collection Thursday A. The last collection was 5th October for bn84rt but the problem is no crew came to collect our recycling bins and if you go online to the Lewes district Council website to report missed bin it makes out that you are at fault by not putting your bin out on time. There is no option to say that the bins were never collected because no one turned up. There is no email address or phone number to let someone know that they didn’t turned up empty your bin, Our next collection is the 19th October and as it takes two weeks to fill a bin and some people will have no option, but to stick their recycling in with the normal waste collection as they know that will come once a week. In the photos, most people have left their bins out, just in case you lot, turn up to empty them.

3 inch hole in path near Road outside Royal Oak Pub, Newick. A deep space possibly cellar underneath., 15th August
A cone has been placed over the hole to reduce trip hazards but I'm concerned with heavy traffic driving over it, if the structure underneath isn't supported, it could become a sinkhole.
