Turf and debris spread over cycle way - very dangerous to cyclists

20th January

The dedicated cycle track adjacent to the A66 between Mungrisedale Road end and Lane Head farm is covered in turf and mud that appears to have been deposited there by recent snowplough operations. I rode it with my wife on Thursday 16/2/25 and it is very dangerous in its current state. Fortunately neither of us hit any clumps of turf or we would have been thrown off our bikes immediately adjacent the very busy eastbound carriageway of the road

Caravan in residence for a week

26th October

A caravan has been parked at this location for a week. It is a known spot for tourists overnighting in camper vans but this seems a more permanent endeavour with a generator being used. The transit van towing the caravan (KL53 KKG) leaves early morning and returns evening with a lady in residence during the day.

No speed signs

8th September

This section of road has a climbing lane eastbound, unfortunately road users believe it is a dual carriageway and regularly travel at 70 plus mph. The installation of 60mph signs at the point where the road becomes a climbing lane would be helpful. There was recently a fatal accident at the Mosedale junction, I think this may be attributable to this lack of signage, this is an ongoing problem.

Cyclist crossing point for the A66

overhanging vegetation resulting in reduced visibility

Cyclist crossing point (Reginal Cycle Route 71) for the A66, when crossing from south to north side, vegetation overhanging branches etc. on the southern (westbound)verge, to the east of the crossing point, is resulting in significantly reduced visibility of westbound traffic approaching the crossing point, traffic speeds are generally high here. This reduced visibility is a significant hazard for cyclist attempting to use the crossing point

Branch hanging over into footway / cycle track that has been like this for several weeks, approx 5 weeks now, along with similar issues along the A66 with branches hanging over into the carriageway which causes us to swerve into the carriageway which is a danger to us and motorists. Why have these not been addressed as a matter of urgency, especially when they cause an issue for us cyclists / pedestrians?
