Collapsed verge causing flooding, 16th February

Fri, 16 Feb 2024 15:09:22 +0000
52.253826 1.071488

Road is narrow; vehicles have used a slightly wider part as passing place but this has caused verge to collapse into drainage ditch/stream and subsequent flooding which isn't dissipating; am concerned that drivers will think this is a proper passing place and will be unable to get out of soft verge; whole drainage needs to be looked at on this short stretch of road.

Potholes in 'dip' across road., 16th February

Fri, 16 Feb 2024 12:53:09 +0000
52.242303 1.076384

Reported 'trench' which traverses road some time ago but told not an issue. This is now developing potholes across the carriageway which will become a major issue. Cars swerve to avoid. Looks like it was dug for services, not sure which. This stretch of road is full of patches. Not sure why area from Wash Lane to beyond Galloway's coaches was never fully resurfaced when the rest of Old Station Road was done some years ago.

Tree preservation order application, 5th April

Tue, 05 Apr 2022 18:32:17 +0100
52.254521 1.102646

Yew tree, estimated to be around 270 yrs old , trunk has a 9ft diameter, given the age of the tree and the wildlife it supports I believe it to be a national treasure and it would be a great loss to see it cut down or have some of the branches cut off by our new chainsaw happy landlord. Robins, blue tits, great tits, spotted flycatchers, goldfinches, chaffinches, treecreepers have all used this tree to nest in or as a source of food. I used to climb this tree regularly as a child, had a tree house in it too. Located in the garden of 2 turnpike cottages ip14 5ns right hand side of of the back garden, come round have alook, might be other trees you'd like to preserve their too

Badly overgrown pavement alongside A140 no longer wide enough to walk dogs or negotiate with a pushchair without sleeping into the highway, 19th July

Mon, 19 Jul 2021 19:13:52 +0100
52.258492 1.102134

Very high banks gradually encroach onto pavement, reducing its width by up to half. In addition vegetation on the bank is so overgrown and further reduces the width of the pavement. We have dogs and can only walk them by stepping onto the highway for much of the way, which is extremely dangerous. The overgrown vegetation also impedes visibility for vehicles pulling onto the A140 from Cedars Hill. Oncoming traffic is dangerously close before it becomes visible unless you pull onto the road add to this the tendency for vehicles to speed through there, it seems only a matter of time before there is an accident there.

Opposite 2 Chantry Corner Cottage about 15/20 metres from the junction, the road is rapidly caving away into the ditch. BT pipes are now visible, so nearly a foot or so already eroded away. Concerned a vehicle will "catch" on it and end up in the ditch.

Overgrown footpath and footbridge, 9th June

Sat, 09 Jun 2018 09:06:49 +0100
52.23525 1.08075

This has been a problem for at least the 6 years I we have lived in the area. Every summer this footpath becomes completely overgrown with tall grass, nettles and thistles; it is impassible (especially with children) Who's responsibility is it for maintaining this public right of way to ensure that it is safe? Farmer who's land it skirts round or the councils. Either way, I have reported this year on year but still nothing is ever done. We live in a rural area yet we cannot take advantage of these public rights of way in the summer.

Water from drainage or mains leak flowing onto the road, 17th February

Sat, 17 Feb 2018 11:32:19 +0000
52.257436 1.102098

This has been an issue for many months now so reporting it. The water is running down the road at a steady flow! There is also a lot of soil and mud on the road where the water carries it into the road right on the junction where the A140 and Cedars Hill meet. This is a safety issue as vehicles can lose traction when pulling out of Cedars Hill onto the A140. Unknown if this is a drainage or water mains leak but the water has been flowing out of the side of the road for days and days.
