One is constantly flashing (but not enough to light the vicinity) and the other, beside it on the North side of the car park, is completely out. It means the car park is very dark

Dangerous driving, 31st January

Sun, 31 Jan 2021 22:13:14 +0000
56.079397 -3.872052

This is the only road in or out of Cowie with no traffic calming measures. This is a 30mph limit then 20mph. The majority of vehicles entering the village are travelling well in excess, usually over 50-60mph. Young children and elderly live and walk along this section. Speed humps and lane narrowing/restrictions need putting in urgently before a death occurs. Every other road into Cowie has speed humps apart from this one.

This person just dumps a big dirty highway maitenance vehichle on the pavement. And this is not the only vehicle, these inconsiderate idiots have no regard for our children's safety as we teach our children to stay off the roads and on the pavements. Not only is this idiot blocking the pavement but her is also blocking the entrance to Richard Quinn Street. Nor do they care that there disabled people in this location, mothers with prams. I've looked at this website and don't really hold much hope tbh.

"Kissing" gate, 4th January

Thu, 04 Jan 2018 20:05:07 +0000
56.09883 -3.884716

There is a "kissing" gate here which prevents many people from using NCN 76. I, a fit and able-bodied cyclist, struggled to pass through with a normal bike. People with tandems, bike trailers, cargo bikes, handcycles or wheelchairs are likely to find it very difficult or impossible to pass. The surface through the kissing gate is also not great. In the attached photo, the kissing gate is to the right of the gate across the road. Cycling by Design contains guidance for barriers on cycle routes, which should be followed. I believe the existing gate is almost certainly illegal under equality legislation. Please remove or fix it.

On this road there is numerous points were a garage have dumped oil cans and other supplies on the side of the road in the passing places. This is also a hazard to wildlife in the area due to the possibility of an oil leak. This needs to be cleaned up as soon as possible to prevent further instances of fly tipping in the area

They're are quite a few pot holes on Burns terrace which are becoming worse due to the cold, wet weather we've had recently. these pot holes are developing fast from old pot holes that were patched up prior to this spell of bad weather. double and single decker buses use this road and their weight is forcing water under the road surface lifting the tar causing the holes to enlarge and more water to lie within the hole awaiting the next vehicle to cause even more damage when it runs over the existing pothole.

There is a stretch of farm type track on this part of the cycle route that is very overgrown. I had to get off and walk because I couldn't see the surface of the track to avoid potholes and the growth was getting caught in the bike. Thanks.
