Very poor road surface, uneven and potholed, 16th April
The problem is at the bad corner on the A761 where the grip surface has become really uneven with potholes covering a majority of the area. It is a bad bend at the best of times however it's now dangerous due to the condition of the road and road users are having to try and avoid these potholes whilst navigating the corner. This has been this way for a while however s getting progressively worse

Pavement is totally unusable, 7th April
The hedge is out of control, it is overhanging the road at the top, and the clearly visible pavement is totally unusable. I have lost count of the number of times I have reported this, before Christmas I had a number of emails reassuring me that someone was visiting the property and making sure the required actions were taken, and then no more emails, and still a swallowed pavement. Why is it acceptable for a household to completely obstruct a pavement and force people to walk in the road? There is pavement before it and pavement after it, so it's definitely pavement. If I decided to increase my front garden by fencing off the pavement to the edge of the curb I would have someone on my doorstep within minutes telling me to remove the fence, but somehow a hedge is ok, why?

Potholes around drain covers, 19th March
On going problem since the road was resurfaced from the Kilbarchan roundabout and into the village along Easwald Bank and onto Low Barholm and High Barholm on the left side. The drain hole covers have not been filled to the edges leaving holes around them. As traffic has to go close to the kerb, due to parked cars on the right, it is unavoidable to miss these potholes which are increasing in size.

Bus stop stinks of urine, 1st March
Bus drivers have been using the bus stop at Kilbarchan Primary School to urinate while working. As a result the bus stop now stinks of urine and is unhygienic.
Kids frequently use this bus stop for school and nursery and the smell is only getting worse. Not very hygienic. As they are using the inside of the bus stop to urinate the rain is unable to wash it away and leaves it to sit and smell.
