Repaired pothole has failed, 15th March
Best, pothollesman previously repaired by the looks of it, but it's failed again. It's right where you put your tires as you're driving along and it's getting kind of deep with sharp-ish edges

Deep pothole, 28th February
It's not overly big but it's quite deep - it's just about the right width to be dangerous to tires. Think it was patched recently but the patch has failed. Lots of debris from it scattered around

Tree trunk snapped next to path, 22nd January
A tree trunk has snapped next to a local path. The tree is clearly moving in the wind. The branches are leaning against another tree so risk to pedestrians doesn't seem high but it could slip

Large pothole, 20th January
Large pothole shortly after the crest of the hill. Looks like a previous patch that has failed. About 1m long at it's longest point. It's on the side of the road nearest the retirement flats and is just over crest of the hill so hard to dodge

Really nasty pothole, 16th December
This pothole appeared recently. It looks like an existing repair job has failed really badly. It's probably 10cm deep, has quite steep edges, is scattering debris everywhere as folk hit it, and is just the right size for a tire to get in to. It's only a matter of time before someone pops a tire on it. Two others have opened up in line with it and there's another further into Springfield Road opposite the bus stop which got a partial repair a while ago that is failing as well and is also right where your tires naturally go in the road (4 in total within a few meters of each other).

How to Park Illegally Like a Pro: A Masterclass by British Transport Police and Police Scotland Vans!, 15th December
Wow, witnessing the remarkable parking skills of the British Transport Police and Police Scotland vans today. Their impressive mastery of flouting the law while setting an exemplary standard for meaningful enforcement is truly commendable. I mean, who needs accessible roads and pavements when you can have a picturesque display of illegal parking instead? Bravo, folks! Your audacity to boldly ignore Part 6 of the Transport (Scotland) Act 2019 speaks volumes about your commitment to chaos. Round of applause for this exhibition of vehicular gymnastics!

Street drains choked with weeds, 3rd September
All of the drains along the B9080 from the cemetery to the canal bridge are choked. This forces rainwater to remain on the surface and cause flooding at the junction to Maidlands, please check all drains and empty them of weeds and silt.

Dangerous parking during Party At The Palace, 21st August
I really cannot stress enough how dangerous parking on this hill is. I complained after the first PATP and was promised cones would be provided in future. The next year, there were plenty of cones and getting in/out of Springfield was easy. This year, the cones were only on one side of the hill (the North side) and this was the result. Both days were bad but the Sunday was much worse. Ironically, an open-backed van full of cones and temporary traffic signs was parked right at the apex of the hill (just before the cones started) making it dangerous to go up the hill on the Saturday before PATP started.
At a minimum, cones must be provided on both sides of this hill every year as parking there reduces the whole section of road to single-lane which is incredibly dangerous on a hill with a blind summit.
I must ask, again, to please consider permanent parking restrictions on that section of the road. There is absolutely no part of the hill that is safe to park on at any time and cones only solve the problem stone. At a minimum, please ensure cones cover the whole of the hill during events, though honestly the first few hundred metres of Springfield Road below the hill would be good, too.
