4 Way system on the A59, 17th May

Tue, 17 May 2022 09:12:07 +0100
54.002566 -1.296364

Who thought this was a good idea? There is no need to have a 4 way system here. 2 way system for the A59. Close Green Hammerton, York Road, junction, and divert to B6265 junction, where they can filter naturally, put a BIG keep junction clear sign on the A59, for the queuing traffic. Close Hammertonlane Kirk, and divert to station road both East and West. again Keep Junction Clear signs. The 4 way system for a couple of cars from the hamlets is frickin ridiculous.

Dangerous potholes - in adequate repairs, 26th May

Wed, 26 May 2021 09:08:40 +0100
53.995129 -1.288348

This section of road has the same problem multiple times per year. Each time a selection but not all holes are partially filled. Rain, change of temperature, traffic cause the problem to arise again within 3-6 months. It’s frustrating to be reporting the same issue year after year. The cause of the problem has been long term field run off which emerges near the junction to the Boroughbridge Road. Then the post repairs, making for a patchwork road. This part of the road need relaying including the foundation, not simply filling the holes and redressing. The photos show when flooded the holes and locations are not visible. Even when local it’s not possible to avoid new and enlarged holes when they can not be seen. When passing and large vehicles push past that don’t slow not wait for on coming vehicles they blast grit and stones.
