FIXMYSTREET IN BL8 1SX
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of BL8 1SX:
Cars and vans driving and parking on a pedestrianised st, 17th April
I work in a store on The Rock in Bury town centre. There are vans and cars constantly driving up and down the pedestrianised street on a daily basis. This street is pedestrianised so that shoppers can walk up and down the street without the thought of getting hit by cars and vans. The vans are G4S, The Post Office (has a back door in a service yard), Security Express. The post office also parks there van on the street while delivering post. These vans go up and down the street, park, reverse and complete 3 point turns. We have work vans that drive up the street and park or just park on the street while completing works. All of these pass a sign that states no vehicles at any time. There are bollards to stop them coming up the street but they are always down. The reason that customers come to Bury is that it is a safe street to walk down as it should be pedestrianised. I have seen vans reversing while people are walking behind there vans. We are a busy street and we need to be prioritising shoppers not cars and vans. We are getting into the busier months with summer holidays etc. There will be more people and children on the street so there could be an accident waiting to happen. The vans aren't allowed on the New Rock so why are they allowed to drive on the the Older portion of The Rock. Customers of the banks also just park on the street.

Deep Potholes, 12th April
The roads full of dangerously deep potholes that are causing damage to cars. The road is used to access the school in the morning at afternoon and numerous cars have had damage to suspension and tyres. It is also dangerous for anybody walking along Baron Street as the holes fill with water so it is impossible to tell how deep they are and stepping in one could cause injuries.

Furthermore, all the temporary traffic lights are not switched on (checked 7.15-08.30 and, because of the constant traffic, it is impossible for people to cross the road (there was a queue of children trying to cross and I had to walk in the road to allow them to cross safety).

Traffic Light Timing, 6th February
The lights at the bottom of Tottington Road and Brandlesholme Road with the Crostons Road, the light sequencing has changed it looks like from 06/02/24 where the lights are on a very short sequence only letting 2/3 cars through before they change again. This is not normally the case, but is causing a back up of traffic after rush hour (10.00am 06/02/24) where there is normally no traffic. If this remains this will cause major disruption in rush hour.

Rubbish on back street where we have just moved, 29th November
We have just moved into a house 53a Ainsworth Road bury The back street that’s behind our house has a couple of piles of rubbish which has been there since we moved in 2 months ago. We are concerned about it being so close to our house if it inviting pests in. There is also a brown bin directly behind our back fence which is full of general waste so it’s obviously not being emptied but it’s outside our house.

Cracks in road / pothole / sinkhole, 20th November
The road was breaking apart and water flows out through the centre of the road when it rains. Now it is starting to sink and develop into a pothole or sinkhole. Once the weather gets colder and the water freezes this will cause accidents on this very fast and busy road.
