There is so much mud on this road from the farmers., 25th March
This mud has been here for 1 and a half months. It has now become dangerous as the farmers keep adding to it when leaving the muddy field. I would love it if it could just be cleaned as it's a corner and feel like skidding on the stones and mud is dangerous. Many thanks if you can clean it.

Visibilty at junction Muckleston Wood Lane and A53, 11th July
Unfortunately, traffic driving towards Newcastle along the A53 do not keep to the 40 mile per hour speed limit.(I think it should be 30mph anyway). When trying to pull out from Mucklestone Wood Lane onto the A53, visibilty around the corner is very poor and the speed of the oncoming traffic means I have my heart in my mouth every time!
Fortunately, the homeowner on the corner keeps his large Laylandii hedge well-trimmed, but the layout of the road is such that visibilty is still poor.
Can something be done please?
