Poor path repair.

The path was dug up by Openreach, or their contractors. The repair is very poor. the tarmac is crumbling and floats after heavy rain. It is not causing a real problem, but the repair should have been done to a proper standard.

Fly tipping
10th May
These mattresses have appeared over night, at Dark Lane garages and if they are not collected quickly people will add to it. There are some picture frames with broken glass on the right that have been there a month. There is a huge growth of weeds on the back wall and the fence is broken. Why don't you put cctv here so you can fine the tippers so they won't do it again.

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

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.
