Water Unable To Clear From Road, Causing Pedistrians To Get Wet, 17th February
On the 15/2 at 18:15 hrs approx whilst on a run I was absolutely drenched and covered with road crime due to excess water on the road namely Ham Lane B3073. The area from 50.799767, -1.936433 to 50.797144, -1.932792 appeared to have static water in the South Eastbound side around 1 third of the lane, which meant that drivers had no option but to go through it at speed, spraying water all over me, I was covered in water and dirt from the road & I was as far over to the left as I could be on the Cycle Lane, so really had nowhere to go. The Drivers where not really at fault, as it is a drainage issue, Rain was 1.2mm according to Meta Office for that hour, however I felt it was more like heavy drizzle and had only been raining for 20 minutes when I got to that area, so not really a down pour, so I would say static water topped up with the light drizzle.
Can you please check drains & drain offs, I know that the fields do get flooded in that area. I run the area at least once a week & this has not happened before even earlier this year, so presume something is blocked.

Failing Road Surface has caused several areas of kerb to fail, 17th February
On the exit of the carriageway into Starbucks site, there is several areas of road surface that have quite seriously failed, I would say not potholes, however it is the only option I have to report. The Exit Road failing is much so that you have to avoid them on entering into the carpark area via the exit by driving on the curb on the left side of the exit road, avoiding holes on the drivers side of the vehicle. There are signs of previous works that looks like it was not repaired correctly (bodge job) which has now come back to bite them.
What 3 words ///most.fell.lists Address Oaks Drive, St Leonards, Ringwood BH24 2QA.
I would also like you to raise with the Council about moving the Bus Stop & relaying the enterance to allow for vans to turn easier, as when I took photos today, I van had no option but to put both rear wheels on the pavement to get into the enterance, trying to avoid potholes.

Pothole, entrance to A31 St. Leonards roundabout, eastbound., 12th February
Previously repaired pothole, now breaking up. This pothole is hard to avoid without deviating from lane into roundabout. It is now quite severe and deep enough to cause damage to tyres/wheels/suspension. Attempts to avoid it are dangerous at this busy roundabout. Please repair as soon as possible, it has been a problem for several weeks now.

Sound Barrier, 1st February
Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to ask how i can go about requesting for the current sound barrier near our home to be extended slightly. Since we moved in the road noise from the A31 is making it difficult for our infant son to sleep. We note there is a sound barrier but it stops out side the house next to ours. Right opposite our home there effectively no sound barrier.
How can we go about having one installed, if we were to also part supplement the cost if need be?
Many thanks for your time and attention
Kind Regards, Mr James Hammond

Broken fencing, 8th January
The poor state of the fencing running along this section of walkway on the A31 was reported back in the summer - there were subsequently some signs of an inspection having taken place but nothing has been done since. Following further storms and bad weather, the fencing is now even worse and could result in a nasty accident as it provides little/ no protection from the steep bank should someone stumble or fall over. Please could the fencing be replaced as soon as possible. Thanks

Damaged signs, lighting and roundabout, 2nd January
The mini roundabout on the A31 junction with Woolsbridge Road has broken light fitting and signage .Currently all the damaged lights and signs are laying flat on the grass. These are a result of numerous vehicles hitting them at speed. They have been like this for a number of years and there has been no work done to repair them. They are there for the safety of drivers and warn drivers of the roundabout. In addition there is a very large yellow sign indicating road work's in the service road in Nov 23. That sign should now be removed.
