FIXMYSTREET IN BA9 9PG
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of BA9 9PG:
Large hump across both lanes eastbound, 3rd April
When heading eastbound on A303 past Wincanton, after the first bridge you pass under there is a straight section with a slight incline. On this there is a large hump going across both lanes. It's most noticeable if nearer the middle white line, but can upset the car/driver as it's unexpected, especially when changing lanes. A bit dangerous really. Can this be investigated. You don't notice it until you drive over it.

Obstructed pathway, 4th July
Pavement is obstructed by overgrown weeds, nettles and hedgerow, and low overhanging trees on the grass verge side. Today in the rain it was also flooded making it a nightmare to use as the water sits in the grass and doesn't drain away. This is used daily by families going to school, You would struggle to get a pram through it.

Blocked drain outside Village Hall in Bayford, 4th July
As it is only 1 of 2 drains in Bayford on this side of the road, when it rains it comes down like a river which rushes under our front door as our house is right on the side of the road. Last year the gully pots were cleaned out but filled straight back up with soil again as the drain crossing the road is blocked and has been for several years

Parks to close to vehicles and has blocked them in, 24th February
A neighbour believes they have the right to park in a certain spot, and if anyone else parks there they will park so close to them. As seen in pictures, this has lead to me struggling to get out of parking space, and being blocked in. They do this even if there is plenty of space behind them.

Speed restriction sign not visible to drivers on approach, 6th March
The 30mph sign is hidden from drivers due to surrounding foliage. It only becomes visible from approx 20-30'. There is a long approach down hill to this sign but at no stage is there notification of the speed being 30. The mobile police speed check locates itself opposite the 30 sign, precisely to catch drivers at this point. Were the speed sign visible to drivers this would be fair enough, but it isn't.
