FIXMYSTREET IN BL8 2DE
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of BL8 2DE:
Non existent road marking at staggered junction., 2nd May
This junction is staggered with a right only turn on the outside lane from Higher Ainsworth Road. I have been involved in an incident and have witnessed others where drivers have driven from the outside lane straight across forcing drivers on the inside lane to swerve or stop to avoid a collision. At this same junction the road markings have disappeared from the Bolton and Bury Road outside lane causing driver from Higher Ainsworth Road to cut across a lane intended for 'right turning' vehicles. Rather than just reinstating the original markings I would suggest also including some positive identification markings on the right turn such as a coloured tarmac lane (similar to the lane at junction 17 M62) if funding allows. This problem has existed for over a year and I would be surprised to be the only one to notice.

Massive pot holes over the whole street, 17th April
The whole street is a mess. It’s like driving a roller coaster there are so many pot holes and trenches that you’re lucky if you don’t scrape the underneath of your car.

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.

Roadworks are unsafe and do not allow pedestrians crossing., 5th March
Main crossing switched off.roadworks installed unsafely so that a double crossing is required to progress on the south footpath. 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.

Blocking access to street for large vehicles, 17th January
The owners of these vehicles already have 2 vans on their drives, so they park the biggest van right on the end of the street. This blocks access to large vehicles, such as lorries, bin trucks, and even delivery vehicles and emergency vehicles.

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.
