Blocked drains on Noggarth Road on the left hand side going up from Fence. One is below the 30 mph sign, and there are 3 others above it, before Croft Top Lane. Water is cascading down the road, ultimately causing damage to the surface. It will be freezing o/n with potential to damage the surface further. This road is being resurfaced this week? and the blocked drains should be dealt with before the resurfacing takes place.

53.824528 -2.297314

These potholes have been there before and temporary repairs do not seem to solve the problem. They keep reappearing within a few months. They are very bad at the present time and dangerous to drivers as some veer to the opposite side of the road to avoid them. There is another single deeper pothole 40 metres up the hill.

53.826127 -2.293588

Some pot holes wre filled last year with temporary filling but this filling is now coming out leaving a very uneven road surface.As there is no pavement for several stretches of the road people are forced to walk in the road and there are some who have to use walking frames.I understand that this type of repair is only temporary but it seems to taking a while for a more permanent repair to take place.

There are pot holes which have been here for months and the road surface is breaking up. Pedestrians are forced to walk on the rod as there is no pavement on either side. This is a blind corner and cars are moving to avoid pot holes on an already narrow road and this is becoming very dangerous .There are elderly people with walking frames who have to use this road.

This concentration of deep potholes has been on the bend for several months and are causing drives to veer to the wrong side of the road and into oncoming traffic. Similar potholes are at the end of Copthurst Avenue. Both were reported well before Christmas but nothing has been done.

20 mph sign in wrong place, 16th March

Fri, 16 Mar 2018 08:23:01 +0000
53.82584 -2.287571

Higham Village has a 20 mph limit which is great except the official road sign isn't seen until after drivers turn the corner from the 50 mph bypass. Immediately around the corner is the school, and cars are frequently parked on the south side of Higham Hall Road, opposite the school, blocking access to cars from the bypass. How there hasn't been an accident there already I don't know. The 20 mph sign is in the position it's in because it's the Parish boundary. This is ridiculous. ....It needs to be moved to the turn immediately off the by pass. The village has done what it can but drivers ignore the sign put up by our Parish Council. The same signage issue occurs at the other end of Higham Hall Road, but there, the traffic isn't as bad. The bottom sign still needs moving though.

Previously repaired road has broken up., 16th March

53.825827 -2.287547

Narrow road, in 20 limit, but cars parked on other side mean very difficult to avoid potholes. Near Higham School, so difficulties exacerbated at school times. Add to this, fact that cars approaching from other direction straight off 50 mph by-pass, plus no pavement for pedestrians make this a dangerous situation.

Two very deep and wide potholes 3 yds apart in the centre of the single width road opposite the entrance to Low Wood 46 Sabden road/Back lane, 5th January

53.826325 -2.296388

The two large potholes erupted after the freezing conditions at the beginning of December 2017.. spring water is flowing out of the largest pot hole which is 6" deep at one end, and nearly 2 feet wide and 2 feet long .. it is continuing to flow and breaking up more of the tarmac around it ..this is compounded by vehicles hitting the outer circumference and breaking more up sending bits of tar and gravel spraying all over the road , making the lane very dangerous to walkers and particularly cyclists .. sat nav brings many vans down this lane and with their weight it is now a major hole in width and length but the depth is damaging car wheels and tyres.

The potholes have been there for many months and added to the fact that they are on the bend and uphill this causes problems in avoiding them and not straying into the path of vehicles coming down the hill.
