Collapsing Triple Access Cover creating pothole, 18th December

Mon, 18 Dec 2023 12:43:48 +0000
50.979648 -2.188419

A350 Southbound carriageway at West Melbury [What3Words = elect.supplied.boomer] set of triple access manhole covers are sinking again creating a new pothole. Google StreetView shows an earlier pothole patch was marked up for repair in June 2023 - presumably it is this patch which is now disintegrating as the triple access manhole sinks further?

A very large hole in the north westerly side of the road, 29th March

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 19:04:03 +0100
50.973162 -2.206577

This is a pothole that was recently repaired but opened up again. It is deep, fills with water and so is not easy to see at night. It is fairly out in the road so it is not easy to by-pass without hitting the bank on the opposite side of the road. Hitting this could easily damage a car's suspension.

Recurrent potholes and surface water between Twyford Farm and Haygrove Honey Farm, drain boxes damaged in recent drain clearance opposite post box in Twyford Farm wall and below drive to Haygrove, 29th March

Persistent flooding, 4th January

50.9736 -2.228746

Every winter the road floods to the point where it is dangerous and causes damage to vehicles. Last week a car rolled over here after aquaplaning on the flood. Attempts have been made to fix the problem but it has made no difference whatsoever. Please can the problem be sorted before someone is seriously injured or worse?

Regular flooding and associated pot holes, 20th January

Wed, 20 Jan 2021 17:13:37 +0000
50.973371 -2.228875

Section of the road has regularly flooded for years causing damage to numerous vehicles (see large amounts of vehicle debris on road). Flooding occurs throughout the autumn and winter, even when after moderate amounts of rain. Warning signs are rarely put up meaning vehicles unfamiliar with the area often hit the flooded area unprepared. Significant work was done to alleviate the problem last year but has made no problems. No obvious water source other than a manhole cover. Suggestions: Drain under the road and ditch to move water away or raise the road surface at the sides to make the road level and assist drainage Can't be that difficult to resolve due to the lie of the land in this area.
