Downham Market. Junction of High Street and Paradise Road.
The markings for the mini roundabout at this junction have been almost completely worn away by traffic. The other road markings at this junction are almost as bad. This is a busy junction despite its size and location. Clearer marking is needed as a matter of safety.

2 for the price of 1! inoperable street lights which have almost no markings., 9th March
Bridge Street, Downham Market. Opposite the Town Hall car park (on the opposite side of the road from the town hall).
Not one, but two inoperable street lights, (see photos)
The first is right opposite the car park barrier for AJ Coggles, the second has a rather pointless 'Town Hall' sign attached to it.
Their numbers are POSSIBLY 929 & 930, but the markings on these lights, and others in the area, are virtually unreadable and in need of renewal, (again, see photos).

Highway obstruction and safety issues from building work, 9th January
53 Railway Road, Downham Market.
The building that had stood here was demolished some time ago and the land was then left, (see attached photo from Streetview)
Building work has now commenced at the site, with foundations being dug and groundwork under way.
During most working days a mini digger is at work here, very often working from, (while parked on) the public footway. There are regular visits from lorries that also park on the public footway. In both cases the footway is made impassable to pedestrians as a result.
The footway, even when not occupied by the works vehicles, is left is a muddy and sorry state.
When work is underway, the footway is obstructed, with no signage at all and no alternative, signed safe route for pedestrians, with the result that they walk out into the road to get past the obstruction, often with their backs to the traffic.
Most pedestrians are going to the railway station.
When a lorry is parked here, it obstructs the view of the traffic lights at the stop line, and forces vehicles to wait far short of the stop line, meaning they do not actuate the traffic light sensor, so the lights take a long time to change causing traffic from the town to back up unnecessarily.
It seems unlikely that those carrying out the work here have made proper arrangements with the hIghways authorities to accommodate this incursion, (doubtless to avoid paying the fees).
Please can you attend to this situation before someone is injured as a result of the above.

Drainage water flooding road Bennett Street/Rushmeadow Crescent, 29th October
The road is getting flooded as you can see from the photograph. It appears to be that the drain is not taking the water away so could suggest blockage or collapse. Anglian Water have tested this water and have said it is not drinking water so they have said that this is not their problem. I have been erecting a fence on my property just down from this location and found the water table to be incredibly high.

Violent and strange pothole.., 1st September
20, Railway Road, Downham Market. Almost on the centreline of the road at this location is an easily-missed but violent pot hole that is not so much a pot hole as a small but deep depression in the road surface. There was a long-term leak from a water main here previously which may have washed away some of the sub soil. Whatever the cause, this defect needs attention..
NB This is the second report of this defect. - Previously reported through Fix My Street, 23:10, Tuesday 15 August 2023, but not acknowledged by NCC Highways.
