Clacking grate, 13th March

Wed, 13 Mar 2024 22:08:19 +0000
55.006888 -1.606092

There is a loose grate cover on Station Road, right outside my home. It clacks and clanks every time a car passes down the hill. I have been in contact with Northumbria Water for three months about this. They came and “fixed“ it on Friday (8th March) complete with traffic controls, but the “repair” managed to make it even louder. It is starting to affect my health. (Weirdly, some council workers came and stuck some tarmac round it the day before the water guys came, 7th March, but that didn’t improve things either)

Nit the worst example but cars continually park partially across our street exit making turning left difficult and dangerous as no way of seeing oncoming traffic and need to be on wrong side of road as so many cars parked along roadside.

Has been an issue for months. Blind client has cut hands and face on very spiky dog rose/hawthorn bushes that are blocking the footpath. It is not an option to use the kerb to follow as the outer path is the cycle lane. Please can these be cut back and monitored to avoid further injury. Many thanks.
