Pothole repaired last week recurred. Previous repair looked like they had dumped a wheelbarrow of rubble and a shovel of tarmac and stamped it down! If the council has payed for this they are being robbed!, 19th March

Potholes, 13th March
There are (still) numerous potholes, strips of tarmac washed away and edges falling away within 1km of this locality (too many to report each one individually). Many are in line of tyre and in central area such that cars swerve to avoid them, travelling into the other side of the road (on bend such that it’s into line of travel by oncoming vehicles).

Large pothole opposite crumbling road edge, 11th March
The very large pothole was filled in last year but has reopened in the last month and is now bigger. To get around it you are forced off the edge of the road as it’s a single track lane. The edge now is broken and deep. A rough sharp edge has been formed. This means the road is becoming impassable without damaging cars

Road broken and rutted, 22nd February
The road surface is now very rutted on the north side and is also broken in many places along the entire length of the road.

Road and drainage condition, 29th January
The stretch of rutting in the middle of the road was finally partially filled recently. But some significant potholes in amongst it were left. Ditch digging was carried out as well - it is of questionable value when the base of the ditch dug is higher than the road surface - and when it is not dug far enough to join up with existing ditch a few meters further down. It is easy to question whether the aim of the work is to resolve or exacerbate to lead to further avoidable work/profit creation. Shouldn’t costly p othole filling make things safer? Shouldn’t ditching drain water away from the road, not lead surface water from adjacent land onto it - concentrated in one dodgy area?

Why leave one deep hole, 27th December
The quality of temporary repairs here has appalled everyone. It seems common (ONLY IN EAST SUSSEX) to see shoddy temporary repairs (with a hole at the edge left to aid the removal of the newly placed tarmac) but this is ridiculous. Nothing done about the drainage issue so water is still going to erode and freeze on a dangerous stretch of road - and they didn’t fill all the deep potholes (see photo). Can I suggest that the management of East Sussex Highways maintenance is taken over by West Sussex. Much seems to be related to quality control (both maintenance work and checking of work done on the roads by utility or other contractors).

Hard edged pothole, 17th November
V poor previous repair saved enough of a problem/hole to fill with water create further work before long - it’s a hazard now (especially for motorbikes - concealed when it fills with water).

Report on FixMyStreet
Waldron Road is heavily eroded at the sides due to constant flooding. One long mini river pot hole along the path side., 28th October
It’s been there for years but it’s now much worse due to roadworks on the opposite side pushing heavy vehicles to drive with their tires down the hole causing the road surface much greater damage.

Long deep gouge in road tarmac, 10th August
There is a long trench like area of missing tarmac extending several meters down the road now. Drivers going down the hill go onto the opposite side of the road to avoid it - it is on a slight bend so they end up facing fast car going uphill. It is dangerous and has been getting worse for months.

Bridle path impassable, 18th June
Tried to ride from the lane to the first gate on the bridle path. Was so overgrown with brambles and hedging that I couldn't see the end of the gate , nor could I turn around. I had to reverse the horse back, and got attached to some branches in the process. Very dangerous.! Smaller child with me had cuts to arm from the undergrowth.
