Large Pothole between lanes on the A56 dual carriageway northbound, 25th April
I've noticed a lot of shallower potholes for several months mainly in the right hand lane but also on the left lane. The main issue is a large deep pothole in between lanes. At 50mph it is difficult to quantify the size. I hit this pothole and instantly got a puncture so had to pull off the dual carriageway.

Dangerous road surface, 8th April
See example photograph of dangerous road surface on this section of road - further to report made yesterday (07/04/24). There are numerous further examples along the road (until the slip road (Grane road exit) but it is unsafe to photograph them amidst fast moving heavy traffic, due to curve of the road and proximity to the slip road near Syke Street Tesco.

Badly uneven & dangerous road surface on A56, 7th April
There are a series of dangerous gaps in road surface / differentials in height along this stretch of the A56 (heading North) between the junction by Tesco (Syke Street) and the exit onto Grane Road (just before the A56 becomes the Haslingden bypass). On changing lanes my car hit one of these points on Saturday 6th April at around 12pm with such force that the steering is likely damaged and wheel likely buckled. Exact damage TBC by mechanic. This is highly dangerous! Not possible to safely stop and take picture of the road surface as there is no hard shoulder and this is a fast road, please fix this as a matter of priority!

Discarded cigarette ends all over the pavement, 18th March
A ongoing problem with discarded cigarette ends all over the pavement outside the Bees Knees public house. I didn’t notice a bin there & obviously the smokers haven’t noticed one too so they discard their used cigarette ends on the pavement. The pavement is ‘dropped’ & therefore not cleaned by the motorised pavement cleaner. It just seems to betting worse

A dog fouling deposit on FP1404201 adjacent to side of 5Alderwood, 12th March
A dog fouling deposit on FP1404201 adjacent to side of 5 Alderwood's fence. It is fresh, deposited in the last few days. This footpath is used regularly by school children. This is a real situation to test to see if there is a system in place dealing with this common practise by a few disrespectful individuals, as I don't believe that there is.

Deep pothole towards left hand side of the outside lane (as the single lane bends right after the Tesco and overhead bridge). Definitely could cause a lot of damage to vehicles. It’s been there at least 2 weeks now. Please can someone inspect and repair.
The other side of the A56 bypass Northbound is no better with multiple shallower potholes and in desperate need of repair, particularly lane 2.

Fence badly damaged for several hundred metres along southbound Edenfield bypass/A56 Dual Carriageway between Hardsough Lane and Church LaneeH, 19th February
Dear National Highways Much of the perimeter highway fencing on the Edenfield Bypass/A56 Dual Carriageway to Stables at Pinfold across from Esk Avenue off Blackburn Road Edenfield is either down following recent storms or already in a serious state of disrepair. We understand this to be the responsibility of National Highways as it borders the bypass. Livestock are kept in stables and fields abutting this stretch of the bypass, and there is now serious concern that either they could escape onto the bypass, or vehicles could leave the bypass and come crashing through endangering them, creating further danger of escaping animals and endangering those using the land to tend their livestock. The crash barrier should also be repaired and strengthened to further reduce this risk. Fencing and barrier work has recently been carried out on the other side of the bypass, and we expected this was part of a programme to also address the issues on our side. This hasn't happened and the problem has got worse following recent storms. We hope this can be attended to as a matter of urgency. Many thanks.
