Restrictions on access twice a day, 29th September

Fri, 29 Sep 2023 10:35:09 +0100
53.676076 -1.26819

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

53.676578 -1.260582

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.

There has been uneven road surface on the inside lane at the junction for Darrington North bound for a few months now but since the snow we had at the beginning of March it has become a hazard, you can avoid driving through it by edging closer to the right lane but this is for obvious reasons unsafe.

On entering Sotheron Croft outside No 1 is a large oil or diesel deposit coming from a white kia which parks there, even though the owner has a drive which is house No 2 they fail to use it. The owner also on many times just dropped their fast food litter on the street when exiting the car and has no respect to the environment at all, When we are dog walk we have to avoid two areas on the street the other is outside No 5 which parked their van on the pathway and has totally ruined a grass verge due to parking there again oil on pathway and street. its totally unacceptable and action should be taken to clean the area up and made to pay for the cost. Also dogs don't wear boots or shoes and they clean their paws think of the health.
