FIXMYSTREET IN WN6 7HP
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of WN6 7HP:
Sharing disabled spit to guarantee parking, 13th July
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
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.

Hazarous roadway and footpath causing damage and injuries, 8th July
The current condition of Ashford Rise roadway and footpaths is now at a state where near misses and incidents are occurring. This is a safety hazard that is not being acknowledged, nor any controls being put in place by the local authority to reduce the risk.
The road way is abnormally uneven with re-occurring sink holes, also the roadway on the hill of Ashford rise is starting to crumble causing a loose top surface. There has been two vehicle incidents in the past three months, where vehicles have skidded on the loose surface. This is also a potential hazard to pedestrians and children in the street.
The footpaths on the street are also at a state of unevenness causing trip hazards. Recently a visitor to the street tripped and was sent to A&E with a head injury.
I understand members of street have been in communication with Wigan Council over the last 2 years, where the council had advised the remediation works would start early summer 2021. When trying to make contact with council recently they have not responded.

Trees blocking traffic lights, 10th June
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.

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