This lightpole was knocked down by a vehicle over two years ago. The pole has been replaced but STILL no light fitment at the top. It is so dark and the pavement uneven and cars coming out of a shop car park all the time and crossing the dropped pavement. It needs to be fixed before someone is hurt.

Road falling apart and now flooding too, 2nd January
This stretch of road is falling apart with huge pot holes. The road is also flooding like so many around the area because the council can not be bothered to clear the drains any more. We know its all a scam to make people believe its a climate crisis but the reality is blocked drains are causing flooding .
