Collapsed manhole cover (again!), 15th November
This manhole cover has been collapsed for weeks! It is dangerous, and on an unlit section of the A226. When I walked along the pavement the signage had been knocked over, and broken cones were scattered (pic1) I’ve stood them up as well as I can (pic2), but looking at the previous cone debris in the verge (pic3) it’s only a matter of time before it’s hit again. This needs rectifying immediately before someone gets hurt, and/or serious damage to vehicles occurs!!!

Parked vehicles partially blocking driveway., 31st July
This is an ongoing issue for several years, each time it is getting worse. I have asked my neighbours politely in the beginning. But, now the problem is worse. As per picture, the white vehicle is parked more than a Metre across my driveway, making it increasingly more difficult to reverse my company van onto my drive.

Lorry speeding and road vibrations, 11th May
We have constant issues with Speeding hgv at the junction of School lane and the railway bridge. My house is at the bottom of lake drive and suffers vibrations when these vehicles speed past. The road humps do nothing to slow these down as they can pass over them easily. The only way I see of slowing down these vehicles is a width restriction put in place.

Lorries speeding, 11th May
Due to excessive speeding on this road and now the fact we have a higher increase of lorries passing I am now finding the house is being shook at 6am with the lorries speeding past. this is also an issue on the school run as they come down very fast and very close to the pavements. speeding continues into the night with the fast cars
