Road markings and sigs, 15th January
This is a "T" junction of Stoney Lane and Old Lane. with a painted roundabout..Road markings have not been renewed for some time and are nearly totally obscured with the volume of traffic passing over it. Drivers seem totally oblivious to whom has right of way and car horns are a regular feature. Sign to tell there is a traffic island ahead has been knocked around and facing the wrong way. Is unlit and is totally damaged. Met with council representatives, both Parish and St Helens on January 4th 2023 to discuss the situation and still no action.. The Council still take our council taxes but I ask myself"Where is it going"

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