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.

Ilegal parking on Common lane double yellow lines and keep clear zones including blocking of residential entrances
Despite the installation of very clear "no waiting signage" , keep clear zones , and Double yellow lines parents continue to ignore all direction and block driveways and park on Common lane 2 collisions have now occurred involving children crossing road and as the volume of students increase so does the frequency of illegal & dangerous parking, Parents dropping off students are also being abusive to local residents, refusing to move their cars to allow exit & entry to residential driveways, it would appear the only effective next step would be to install traffic monitoring cameras to deter this illegal activity and make this area safe for Children and keep residential driveway access clear, we now await next steps to remedy this dangerous safety issue.
