Road too narrow to allow HGV to get across, 19th October

Thu, 19 Oct 2023 22:59:33 +0100
53.426606 -2.724121

This is the 4th HGV that has struggled to manoeuvre from mill lane into Marshalls cross road. One HGV last week mounted the curb and then almost hit the post on the opposite side of the road. The lorry in the picture had to make several manoeuvres back and forward to get round narrow road. If a child is stood behind the vehicle the driver doesn't see them they could be hit. I have never seen anything so ridiculous with this new roundabout. Twice I have almost been hit by cars that think they can go straight ahead from Marshalls cross road towards clock face road from the right hand lane which is meant for vehicles turning right. I have seen an accident already in this road.

Someone is going to get killed here, 19th July

Wed, 19 Jul 2023 14:15:47 +0100
53.428468 -2.74039

Turning right onto the St Helens link way from Elton Head Road towards the M62. The lights change leaving vehicle's stuck in the middle of the road. There are 3 lanes approaching the junction so cars travelling faster move to the outside lane, unable to see any cars that were to turn right in the middle of the carriageway. There should be more of a delay on the lights to give sufficient time to join the main carriageway.

This patch of footpath hadn't been cleared in years It has several years of leaf drift which has rotted into a slimy compost . This causes mobility issues for myself and my guide dog when walking to the bus stop . We have to walk close to the kerb to avoid stepping into it and risk falling.

Drug paraphernalia in Vera Page Park, 15th July

Fri, 15 Jul 2022 13:49:34 +0100
53.449567 -2.730441

Loads of litter including needle cases, loose needles and other drug paraphernalia in the dip where the brook/stream is in Vera Page Park (the woods near the old railway lines). Also, I reported needle cases which I placed in an orange litter bag and tied to a tree about 2 weeks ago. The bag is still there. This is an area frequented at all times of the day and night and has been for years. Why is very little being done to prevent the addicts from using a public park and constantly leaving dangerous items?
