Road floods when it rains, 1st November

Mon, 01 Nov 2021 13:25:43 +0000
52.110752 -0.433895

The picture doesn’t do this any justice, however under any type of rainfall the road floods on this corner (central Avenue and bells close). Whilst this isn’t an immediate issue to the local racing drivers who think it’s great to soak unexpecting locals it’s starting to cause damage to the drive way and property nearing this location. I’m pretty new to the area however all of the neighbours have said there was a drain on this corner which was covered up and never re-instated once the road bumps were installed some years ago. Please can this get looked into.

The verges along Southill Road are overgrown and blocking the pavement in places which means walking on the road, this road is a country road and although it is supposed to be 30 mph people rarely stick to the speed limit, so it’s not ideal having to walk on the road because the pavement is blocked, particularly when pushing a pushchair.

Poor visibility, 19th July

Mon, 19 Jul 2021 15:25:12 +0100
52.09296 -0.419059

Can you please look into the poor visibility when coming out of Harrows Close, Cotton End, Bedford onto the High Road. Please note whilst there is only a van and truck showing in this picture, there are quite often more vehicles parked long this stretch of road which makes visibility very difficult when coming out of Harrows Close, particularly when vans/trucks and lorries are parked up (they often park on the pavement making it difficult to navigate with a pushchair). Please visit either in the evening or at the weekend to see it at its worst. Cars parked on the pavement right up to the corner and into Harrows Close mean pedestrians have to walk on the road. Please acknowledge receipt of this email and confirm what action will be taken.

Vans, cars and trucks parking on the High Road near Harrow Court are causing visibility issues when exiting Harrows Close. They also park on the pavements which make it difficult for pushchairs. I have already reported this as my son in law had an accident when exiting Harrows Close due to poor visibility, but haven’t received a response. Could someone get back to me please on what action is being taken.
