FIXMYSTREET IN CA17 4RB
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of CA17 4RB:
Road surface around Riddlesay Farm, 18th April
The road surface around Riddlesay Farm is in a very poor condition. The surface is now becoming increasingly broken with potholes and damaged surface. This is particularly hazardous to cyclists and motorcyclists and risks serious injury in either trying to avoid them on a bend before the brow of the hill or trying to ride through them and falling off. Either of these creates a significant risk of serious injury to the rider.

Unfinished work, 24th February
Looks like they've made good around the road drains. But the work remains unfinished. It's only about an inch or so deep but the edges are sharp. I wouldn't say this was essential, although people are seeing them late and swerving to avoid. A bit tight if there's oncoming traffic at times

Blocked gulleys, 14th July
There are a number of blocked Gulley's on the main road. Looking into them it is clear they have not been sucked out for a long time. I would have thought that with all the flooding in Cumbria in the recent past, that these would be clear. Do we never learn?

Water leak, 16th September
Water has been escaping from a water point outside 28 Fletcher Hill Park, Kirkby Stephen CA174QZ since Saturday 12th September. I believe United Utilities have been advised a number of times but no remedial action has been taken to date
This is an utter waste of a natural resource and countless gallons of water have been wasted. It is a shame that no action has been taken

Dog excrement EVERYWHERE, 9th February
09-02-13 Dog fouling - Outside my front door (Stoneshot); it's on the path, in my patio area, outside my garage - right next to my car.
Literally, EVERY TIME I leave the flat, e.g. to go shopping, or to my vehicle, I get dog excrement on my shoes. Dog fouling is a daily, no, excuse me, an HOURLY occurrence.
The lack of street lighting compounds the issue, of course. Any foot journey at night is GUARANTEED to be hazardous.
A DISGUSTING HEALTH HAZARD...
Roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, Coccidia, Gardia, Parvovirus - a single gram of dog waste can contain 23 MILLION fecal coliform bacteria.
Also, the number of arrogant, inconsiderate dog owners who happily lead their animals to urinate on my car wheels is incredible... Ammonia damage to my alloys? Criminal damage to property? It CLEARLY is! Vile, vile, vile people...
I understand that some dog owners are diligent in cleaning up after their animal; unfortunately, there are many who are not.
I include a link from the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-18598092
A good idea in principle? Probably not - I doubt these dog owners will be "embarrassed" in cleaning up the mess - they clearly have no shame, or sense of civic responsibility. I agree strongly with this quote:
"Councillor McBride added: "Quite frankly anyone who still thinks it is acceptable to leave animal excrement behind on our streets and parks for children to step or fall into probably shouldn't have a dog in the first place."
Well put, Councillor McBride.
Thanks for your time, apologies for the rant.

No through road, 19th September
The road indicated, Fletcher Hill Park, is a no through road but there is no sign indicating this at the entrance of the road. This results in additional traffic entering the road and causing problems. The street is inhabited by younger people at the lower end and older people at the top end. Such a sign would help to alleviate this problem.
