The "lollipop" lights (there are 2) are both not working on the central island where pedestrians cross the A590 road at the bottom of Brow Edge, Backbarrow. So, when pedestrians are waiting in the middle of the A590 when crossing in the dark no-one can see them! These have been out for a few weeks now. Thanks

Bricks & Debris In Road, 10th March

Thu, 10 Mar 2022 07:30:48 +0000
54.248966 -3.000501

I went out yesterday to visit the motor museum when I hit something in the road, I had then pulled over to find a bulge in my tyre which had caused internal damage. I stopped at the nearest garage 3 minutes down the road in which a replacement economy tyre was needed. The gentleman at the repair shop stated this is not the first time it has caused a blow on a car. We went back to visit the road on the way back and noticed there has been several walls broken and bricks on the road, these have been cleared and traffic cones. The hard plastic rubber located at the bottom of the traffic cones have been broken off and landed in the middle of the road. There are severe pieces which are scattered across the road including large bricks from the walls.

Several vehicles regularly park here, on double yellow lines, which obscures the view of any oncoming traffic. The yellow lines are hidden by stones and dirt and need to be made more obvious. This has been a problem for years. I informed our local councillor with no satisfactory outcome., 28th June

No traffic wardens ever visit the village and without any action being taken, residents will continue to park there, causing an obstruction of the view of any oncoming traffic.

Row of high trees along A590 are overhanging garden and parking areas, 5th May

54.25382 -2.988719

There is a long row of trees which line the A590, along Brow Edge, which are overhanging the gardens and houses in Abbots Vue. I know a neighbour recently had some work done to crop a couple of these back which was done by yourselves and I have previously paid £££ to have them cut back. I would very much appreciate these trees being cut right back down to size to allow light to reach the houses, gardens and parking area on Abbots Vue. Many Thanks. Paul Coulson.
