There is an exposed grid on Whalley Road right by the bus stop on this main road. If a car hits it it will damage a tyre & if a cyclist hits it I don’t know what would happen as there are sharp sides showing.

Fence badly damaged for several hundred metres along southbound Edenfield bypass/A56 Dual Carriageway between Hardsough Lane and Church LaneeH, 19th February

Mon, 19 Feb 2024 12:25:44 +0000
53.676511 -2.30868

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.

Temporary traffic lights, 17th November

Fri, 17 Nov 2023 15:35:57 +0000
53.651656 -2.31655

Temporary traffic lights are situated each side of the exit of 55 stubbins lane. Upon exiting this section you are unable to see what colour the lights are on controlling two lines of traffic which essentially means there’s a significant risk you will head towards traffic head on without any where to go as it’s single track. I have witnessed two very close incidents in the last 10mins

These potholes have been getting worse for many months. They are now a danger to life and limb. It's a disgrace that Lancashire County Council won't accept referrals from this site. Their own reporting system is appallingly difficult to navigate.

The diversion signs that have been set up on Bury Road Edenfield due to the nightly closure of the A56 have been removed which means all the traffic is going down narrow Bury Road and not the previous diversion down Bolton Road North. They need replacing.

M66 motorway noise is quite high for the street we live on. Especially in winter when the leaves fall and an easterly wind. The bridge has no barriers at present but it would be great if some were installed? I work shifts and would massively help! Many thanks
