Leaking water ingressing from the entrance to the site causing gravel to cause a hazzard to Bikers as well as obscuring road markings.
18th June
Am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the ongoing issue of water flowing from the entrance to the site used by heavy lorries over the past few months. This situation has led to several significant problems that pose serious risks to road users, particularly motorcyclists.
The primary issues are as follows:
Visibility of Road Markings: The constant flow of water and mud from the site has covered the road markings, making them virtually invisible. This lack of visibility creates a hazardous environment for all road users.
Road Surface Conditions: Stones and mud are frequently present on the road surface at the entrance to the site. This debris reduces the grip on the road, posing a particular danger to motorcyclists who are more susceptible to accidents due to slippery conditions.
Recent Resurfacing: The road has been recently resurfaced, yet the white markings on the edges of the lanes are already obscured by mud and debris. This defeats the purpose of the resurfacing and continues to endanger road users.
I urge you to take immediate action to address these issues. The safety of all road users is paramount, and the current conditions are unacceptable. I request that measures be taken to prevent water and mud from flowing onto the road and that regular cleaning and maintenance be conducted to ensure the road remains safe and clear of debris.
I look forward to your prompt attention to this matter and would appreciate a response outlining the steps that will be taken to resolve these issues.

Numerous potholes
11th June
Dear Sir/Madam
I wish to report that Hollybush Lane, the southern part that connects to Ascots Lane, has numerous potholes in the road that could cause damage to the suspensions of vehicles using this road.
The road is signposted with a "National Speed Limit" sign, but travelling at even half this speed could cause damage.
Thank you.
