Restrictions on access twice a day, 29th September
Residents being stopped and asked to account for why they are driving in and out of the street by teachers is not acceptable. What power do they have to obstruct cars and block the road? There is no need for these restrictions as visitors are courteous in terms of parking and as far as we are aware there have been no injuries due to speed. This is yet a further curb on motorists and people’s ability to move freely. I understand there were huge objections to these restrictions so fail to understand why it’s being enforced.

Sign damage to roundabout, 18th August
Two chevron signs looked to be taken out by queue jumping by a possible heavy duty wagon, it's a constant thing now with cars and vans due to the road works at Wentbridge. while I was waiting to exit to Darrington via Leys road there was a fully loaded car carrier queue jumping, they just ignore the Darrington exit only sign on the A1 and when coming home on the A1 you have idiots getting off to come back on to the A1. Now the roundabout is not highlighted and could be a problem with speeding traffic at night. You may already know of this as area has no debris.

Trailers parking, 12th July
Multiple trailers parking down the road, on double yellows. They are sleeping in cabs and it’s making the road very dangerous as they block a lane towards the roundabout. Also Amazon trailers are made to wait daily from minimally 9:45 am to 10am to enter there premises, this backs up towards the roundabout making it even more dangerous when I’m leaving work.
