Sharing disabled spit to guarantee parking, 13th July

Thu, 13 Jul 2023 18:22:47 +0100
53.559437 -2.655918

The van and the 2 vehicles behind it all share the disabled spot according to which vehicle is the last to turn up deliberately taking up 3 spaces in the street for one household and if you even think of parking directly infront or behind the disabled spots they become aggressive and demand you move the car atleast 3 metres away from either front or back lines in my opinion the disabled spot should be revoked as its not being used for its intended purposes and is just a way to try and control the parking issues on the street.

Car parked dangerously and illegally on double yellow lines outside my flat., 12th July

Mon, 12 Jul 2021 23:30:18 +0100
53.551994 -2.629111

Car registration number MD69 FJZ parked illegally on double yellow lines and dangerously right on the corner of Upper Dicconson Street and Grayson's Close Wigan. I wouldn't have reported this but the rear of the car is sticking out dangerously away from the kerb and it is ridiculously parked. This is a permit zone also so it is illegally parked in several ways. I have been out visiting my parents so i don't know how long it has been parked there.

Trees blocking traffic lights, 10th June

Thu, 10 Jun 2021 08:16:37 +0100
53.549127 -2.625061

As you come down central park way from the hospital, to turn left onto greenough street, the traffic light on your left on the pavement at the junction is completely covered by trees and cannot be seen. In the last week the number of people jumping reds there seems to be ridiculous. Maybe because they can't see the lights. The trees need clipping back as this is going to cause a crash or someone is going to get run over.

Defective no entry and one way signs, 11th May

Mon, 11 May 2020 17:13:52 +0100
53.537902 -2.660131

The no entry signs at Ryde st just cypress road, WN5 and Almond Grove and Cypress road are not illuminated and as there is only 1 no entry sign it is not visible at night, also due to parking at times the signs are obsecured from view and today I had a near miss as I was travelling from Ormskirk road turned into ryde st to be confronted by a vehicle coming the wrong way, this was due to the sign being obstructed and there are 1 way signs also pointing the wrong direction so it looks as if the road is one way in the wrong direction.

2 x 20inch pot holes in middle of busy road, 10th March

Tue, 10 Mar 2020 17:28:33 +0000
53.544481 -2.643556

Just before the railway bridge which is a give way bridge leading to miry lane industrial estate and a main Link road to Wigan town centre there are 2 very large pot holes in the road which are causing cars to swerve into oncoming traffic . I work for a council so I would say due to the position of the potholes it would need a temporary road closures with traffic diversion or out of hours with traffic management to sort it. But this is going to cause an accident if not acted on soon
