Lane markings worn on junction, 10th April
The lane markings on the junction are worn which means lane discipline from drivers unfamiliar with the junction is poor and I have witnessed several incidents of road rage and vehicles cutting each other up thinking they are in the correct lane. Vehicles in lane 2 to go from Shaw towards Elk Mill automatically veer into lane 1 thinking it is their right of way. Lane 1 is a left turn and straight ahead lane. The directional arrows clearly show this is the case, but lane 2's arrow points toward lane 1. Restoring the worn lane guide lines would help alleviate this common occurrance. Please see the attached photo for context.

Parking on double yellows on a corner creating a hazard for both drivers and pedestrians, 18th January
Owner of the vehicle repeatedly parks on double yellow lines at the corner of cornish way and blackshaw lane, this is creating a hazard, people are unable to see traffic coming out of the junction, pedestrians are unable to safely cross because they can’t see if any traffic is coming and the owner is blocking residents. This happened every weekday from around 2.45pm to 3.10pm. The owner has been approached by members of the public on a few occasions and asked to park more responsibly however they ignore the request.

No lights at all on ether side of the road., 18th December
All lights have been off for years and it's extremely dangerous. I couldn't see where I was going. Even with fog lights on. Lights need switching on on this road. I'm surprised there haven't been numerous accidents. VERY, VERY DANGEROUS.

Vehicles parking on double yellow lines causing obstruction, 6th December
Multiple vehicles have been parking on double yellow lines on both sides of the road causing obstruction to pedestrians using footpaths, other vehicles on the road and blocking residents drive ways. Parking is so bad in some areas that pedestrians are having to walk into the road in order to get past. This needs to addressed before there is a fatality. This issue has gone on unchallenged for 12+ months, we briefly had parking officers pass through the area but this only lasted a few days and the issue seems to be getting worse.

Grid needs urgent attention, 22nd November
The grid at the entrance to Thorncliffe Park estate needs urgent attention as it’s loose and making a terrible banging noise everytime a vehicle goes over it and there is no way to avoid going over it. It’s going to cause serious damage to a vehicle if indeed it disappears leaving a hole.
