7 years since drain last cleaned out by Highways, 24th January

54.790876 -2.884171

It's now 7 years since Highways last cleaned out drainage along Macey Bank. Had to remove mud ourselves a few years ago for fear of flooding. Strange how Highways can turn up to do the odd token pothole after a couple of years but can't sort out drains when county is coping with winter flooding.

No salt heaps along entire Macey Bank road. School route., 13th January

Fri, 13 Jan 2023 13:26:28 +0000
54.794222 -2.87348

For some reason no salt heaps were left along the entire Macey Bank road this winter. The bottom junction with Calthwaite road is particularly dangerous as rainwater accumulates here and turns to sheet ice. There is no salt heap to spread on the road. This is a school run route to Ivegill school and an access route to Southwaite services for locals. Highways neglecting to do their job again or was this road forgotten this year?

Abandoned works, 15th June

Mon, 15 Jun 2015 12:41:40 +0100
54.797462 -2.876275

A hole was dug beside the road to relieve flooding some months ago & has not been touched since. The barriers collapsed in windy weather a while ago & went onto highway along with some cones. Somebody must have moved them off road but the rest hasn't been touched. The keep left sign points up to the sky! These barriers etc are a hazard to vehicles when bad weather strikes. No idea if the hole is covered.
