FIXMYSTREET IN BH24 2SE
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of BH24 2SE:
Pothole on Roundabout, 6th March
Large pothole on roundabout between lanes 1 & 2 just as you come off the roundabout onto the dual carriageway. I really cant understand it as it was there when they recently did some resurfacing works on the roundabout. They just missed out this section which clearly needs attention!

Pavement from Grange Road to Boundary Road overgrown, debris and muddy and splippery, 5th March
The trees and plants on the pavement are massively overgrown both road side and pavement side making the exit into the field and 221 Ringwood Road very dangerous. As a pedestrian walking along that road the hedges/trees need cutting back and the verges clearing out as the rain is flooding the verges causing all of the excess mud and debris to spill out onto the pavement making walking dangerous and very slippery.
The pavement in the evening is ridiculously dark because of how overgrown it is making it dangerous to walk down in the evening/night.

Recently repaired however, I have revisited the location and observed that when heavy vehicles pass over the drainage cover bounces and the systems structure moves. In my opinion, before reparing the structure an inspection will need to be done, so as to, evaluate the drainage systems integrity., 26th February
This repair has been repaired recently however, needs to be inspected and repaired again.

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.

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.

Road surface breaking up, 15th September
The anti skid surface is seriously deteriorated and breaking up. There are quite large, long ruts on the approach to the roundabout westbound that could cause a vehicle, especially motorcycles to not be able to steer correctly if their tyre/s get caught in a rut leading to an accident.

Dangerous mini roundabout, 2nd August
Dear sirs I, and anyone else to whom I speak on the subject, am appalled at the poor driving standards often witnessed in the area. One of the problems is the mini roundabout at st Leonard’s. For some time it has been challenging to get out of the village, as motorists do not see a reason to stop or slow at the mini roundabouts. If a vehicle is coming round the mini roundabout, cars will keep going, so that the vehicle with supposed right of way, has to slow, or sometimes even stop, on the roundabout itself, and meanwhile, the traffic keeps coming, as the cars behind those that should have slowed or stopped, also keep on coming, nearly pushing the vehicle coming round the roundabout.! That leaves no chance of traffic emerging from st Leonards/st ives! It would be an improvement if the st Leonard’s roundabout could be enlarged, giving more time for traffic to go round, and more chance of the A31 traffic to slow to go round the roundabout, and more time for traffic to emerge. I do not know if the proposed surf area, or whatever it is, is going ahead, and I pray it does not, as this would impact severely on nature, bats, and we villagers, roads, parking etc, but any development on that land means increased traffic, and increased danger on that roundabout, on which there have been accidents already. One local lady gave up driving after she was hit by a car that failed to stop as she was turning right. I consider myself a competent, and very experienced driver, but do worry when negotiating that roundabout, as I have nearly been hit, and had to stop on the roundabout when vehicles have declined to give way as decreed by the road laws, and the Highway Code. Many thanks in anticipation of your consideration of this request.
