FIXMYSTREET IN SA6 5TH
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of SA6 5TH:
Multiple deep potholes in footpath/byway, 25th April
There are two tarmac strips that comprise this footpath/byway (short stretch from circa this point up to cattle grid). It also provides very long standing vehicular access to a number of residential properties, many of which are located alongside it and have no other means of access. Surface was last replaced by National Grid after gas pipeline works in the area. Surface is now so bad though that maintenance is required, as it poses a risk to any walkers who may use it. At least one person has already fallen whilst out for a morning run. The footpath/byway is one adopted by the Council. Also the Council exercises vehicular rights over it to deliver services to residents, eg bin collections, etc.

Bridleway surface badly eroded, 25th April
There are two tarmac strips on this section of this bridleway (short stretch uphill of cattle grid). It also provides very long standing vehicular access to residential properties (further up, beyond where the tarmac ends) and farmland. Surface was last replaced by National Grid after gas pipeline works in the area. Surface is now so bad though that maintenance is required, as it poses a risk to any horses, walkers and cyclists who may use it. The bridleway is one adopted by the Council. Also the Council exercises vehicular rights over it to deliver services to residents, eg bin collections, street light maintenance, etc.

Report on FixMyStreet
Drainage problem, ongoing for months, 13th February
First photo taken 18 October 2023 shows a blocked drain that is meant to capture water flow from a stream (not the visible drain in the photos, but the one near it - located as pinpointed on the map - and which is so badly blocked you cannot make out the grill or edges of it in the photos). Second two photos, taken 8 February 2024, facing the opposite way, show that the drain remains blocked, or has rapidly blocked again if emptied in the interim (it has been reported before), and that it is still flooding the road, damaging the surface, and potentially causing erosion to the valley side of the road (and maybe beneath it too?). Previously Council has emptied the blocked drain on multiple occasions, so seems likely the pipe running under the road away from the drain needs to be checked for blockage &/or collapse, plus bore size of pipe may need to be increased to cope with amount of water that it needs to transport? Urgent action required as road in question is essential to residents and businesses located in this valley.

Multiple problems with road surface between here and the Gellionnen turning, plus road surface issues on road from Gellionnen turn down to Pont Llechart, 14th January
Roads in question were due to be resurfaced in 2019. Work was delayed at last minute owing to lorry (delivering to Mond works) getting lost & then stuck on the bridge (Pont Llechart). Delayed works are now desperately needed. Also there is a drain that keeps blocking, which suggests drainage pipe from that drain, under the road, (bottom of slope out of the village) needs to be checked by Council (&/or pipe bore widened). Road is only year round access available for most residents in the valley, including livestock farmers. Alternative routes often impassable/too dangerous to use during winter months (as well as heading elsewhere, not into the village) and are also not straight &/or wide enough to accommodate most livestock transportation vehicles. Important these roads are fixed soon, rather than left to deteriorate further, owing to negative commercial, public and private impacts, plus it is the statutory duty of the authority to maintain safe year round road access.

Overgrown, 28th July
Greenery overgrown all the way up from the new in to the top by the school. Needs to be cut back as creeping into the road…. Is a bus route and large HGV also use these roads to deliver up top. Is very difficult to see oncoming traffic due to the sheer height and thickness. Understand wildlife but someone is going to end up having a head on collision.
