Lifted Manhole Cover, 22nd February
Have previously reported this issue to the council last year but nothing has been done. The manhole cover is filled with rubbish underneath and lifts after heavy rainfall. This will result in serious damage to a road user. It needs to be cleaned out not just pushed back down.

Overgrown vegetation obstructing visibility at crossing, 29th May
At the staggered crossing point on the A38 which connects 2 sides of the Strawberry Line path, the overgrown vegetation on the east side of the road makes it very difficult to safely cross if heading from Axbridge towards Winscombe. I was with a friend and our 5 children on a bike ride yesterday and it was really dangerous to cross here. You have to rely on hearing traffic because the bend in the road and overgrown vegetation does not give enough time to cross the road. It needs cutting back asap.
