Deep pothole opposite lamp post 6026, 9th November
If you travel in the direction from Broompark to Stonebridge along the B6302, there is a pothole about two feet in from the edge of the carriageway approximately opposite lamp post 6026. The pothole is at least an inch deep and over a foot long. It could quite easily catch the wheel of a bicycle and cause the cyclist to come off, which on this 60mph road could have very serious consequences.

Parking of large courier vans, blocking access to the highway and potentially using rented accommodation for business., 4th November
For the past half of a year the people in question have been bringing these vans into the small culdesac blocking access to the road and making it dangerous to pull onto and off of driveways for all residents particularly the elderly couple in the far left corner. Said vehicles are also parked on the sidewalk occasionally causing the same results. When confronted about the issue they appear to not care and try to make the situation worse. There is always one large lorry in the estate and this increases to 2 or 3 lorries in the early and late hours of the day suggesting they are using the rented accommodation behind the vehicles in the picture as a place of business which is not allowed. They could easily take the vans to the park roudn the corner but appear unwilling to. Resident also installed cctv which appears to not be pointed towards the vans and more so onto other peoples property, therefore invading their human right to privacy. The stickers put up to warn about the cctv are faded and un-readable even when 1 meter away.

Sand on road, 10th October
Someone has spilled a quantity of sand on the road between the Durham School corner and the drive to the tennis club. It has been there a few days now, on the westbound side of the road. I think it could be hazardous for cyclists as there is sufficient sand that it makes a loose surface on the road. It could also lead to a car skidding, though the normal route a car would take is free of sand because it has been displaced by the cars driving through.
