Broken curb stones allowing rain water on to my property, 15th March
Following resurfacing of the A595 rain water is flowing onto my property via broken curb stones and flooding my garden. The road surface is now higher than it was prior to resurfacing and sending rain water onto my property. Suggest replacement of broken curbs.

Huge pothole - someone has already bust a tyre on it, 23rd November
I can't stop to measure the pothole, but it looks to be over 6" deep and about a foot wide. There have been reports on facebook groups that someone has bust a tyre on it. It's been there a few weeks, but it is a recurring problem from previous years. Sometimes it is impossible to avoid as it is where the road starts to narrow, so you end up hitting the pot hole to avoid a car.

Road collapsing, 20th September
Along this section of road from the crossing towards grizebeck for around a quarter of a mile the road is sinking in places resulting in large dips that no matter what speed they are driven over cause the vehicles the bang and shake violently. it could possibly lead to an accident if a driver loses control. also large vehicles are travelling on the opposite side of the road to avoid the dips which could also end badly

Poor repairs carried out, 2nd December
This recently resurfaced road has been left in an appalling condition by the contractors who carried out the work. the surface is uneven along the full length of the north bound carriageway so much so that it gives the effect of driving along a cattle grid for half a mile. the most ridiculous part is that the road was perfectly ok beforehand and didn't even need resurfacing.

Simply atrocious road surface, 21st November
Time and money spent on, to my mind, a completely sub standard job at resurfacing Wreaks Causeway - road only smooths out when you drive onto surface that hasn’t been resurfaced - my tax money being spent on repairs like this, I want my money back - surely when inspected this will not be passed!?

Lots of missing road making as in lines, 13th April
Can't take a photo as it's not safe. This road has 90% of its white line divide missing. Cars constantly travel over their white line as it is barely visible and cats eyes are also missing. Lots of self seeded trees to which need cutting back as they make a very narrow road with two way traffic even tighter
