Flooding near were there used to be a problem years ago. From platt bridge just before the junction of riding lane and Bolton road. Has been at least 2 days and there has been no rainfall. Why has nothing been done about this as it is dangerous. Also as we came through tonight some young clowns thought it would be a laugh to drive through it at high speed and completely cover other cars from top to bottom. Yours Ms. Veronica Farrell

Speeding, 26th July

Hello First of all I must apologise as I'm sure you get a inbox full of messages regarding speeding issues in the ward, however I wanted to highlight a specific issue on Lee Lane in Abram. As I'm sure you are aware, the road leads to Lee Land Park which is busy with families and dog walkers throughout the day, especially during the summer. However the traffic traveling along the road are speeding way in excess of 30mph due for straight nature of the road leading down to the park. I have lived here for many years and it's been getting progressively worse each year. I would suggest that 3, or maybe even two speed humps similar to the ones on Simpkin Street would solve the problem and encourage drivers to slow down and not use the road as a race track. I know budgets are stretched and there are many areas that need attention, however I believe that just as Simpkin Street was prioritised due to the School, Lee Lane should be looked at due to the proximity to the Park and the amount of vulnerable pedestrians use the road as their main route. I would kindly suggest you discuss this with the Abram ward councillors who have also been made aware of this issue to see if there is any way you could work together to reduce the potential risks before anything more serious occurs. Please keep me updated with any progress Kind regards Mr Myers
