Complete painting of yellow lines
2nd June
Finally the 6 wheel camper van has been moved and it is possible to complete the lat 3 meters of yellow line to ensure parked vehicles do not obscure this dangerous junction.
Thanks in advance.

Kerb stones too high
2nd June
When the kerb stones were replaced to fix a soak away drain they used stones a lot higher than was previously there. However when there are two cars parked on the drive to get out you end up scrapping the bottom of your car. As this cannot keep happening please could the stones be lowered so we can access the driveway as normal many thanks

Motor home parked for months unmoved parked on double yellow lines
Since parking the site has been changed to double yellow as per latest update from the council for safety (painting couldnt complete on that side as it was not moved / but the other side reflects the full length of extended double yellow lines which apply )

People parking on double yellow lines.
23rd May
People park blocking our private road outside the school. They park on double yellow lines and school zig zag lines outside the main entrance of woodend school. I can not get down the private road onto our driveway, and have to wait until they leave. I believe greater signage and perhaps a parking warden could fix this issue.

Sunken iron works
7th May
1 or possibly 2 square iron access panels close together. They seem to be well below road service and are hit by NS tyres on northbound carriageway. Make quite a thump when hit so likely to damage wheels and tyres if not tracking. Would probably dismount a cyclist.

Potholes across length of road
7th May
Despite being 'fixed' 2 months ago, there are gaping holes in the road again. The entire road from the sewage works, and down to KWS school needs assessment and repair. Please can you plan a long term fix? The volume of traffic down this road is high. The road needs to be kept in a better state please.
