Merge Lane, 8th February
Who had the idea of increasing the length of the merge lane coming off the Howgate roundabout or having one at all?
This merge lane has now increased the possibilities of road rage as drivers try to push back into the lane! It’s also increased the length of tailbacks!
What an absolute joke this road has become…congratulations for worsening the road layout and for making the situation even worse!

12”+ pothole in centre or road with vehicles parked on either side, 20th January
Impossible to avoid this as vehicles are constantly parked on either side of the road. Therefore hitting the pothole is not on risking damage to the vehicle being driven but there is also potential for the parked cars to be damaged as the severity of the pothole causes vehicles to swerve when passing through it.

Multiple potholes which have formed a bump., 17th January
This pothole has been an issue since I moved into an address on the road. I’ve had first hand experience hitting the potholes which is frustrating but I’ve also witness multiple cars coming down the road at nighttime and not seeing it and hitting the pothole and ramp at speed causing their vehicle to lose control momentarily. There isn’t much room on this part of the hill so all it takes is someone to hit it too quickly and end up either hitting the parked cars both sides or in the worst case a pedestrian or just causing damage to their alloys. The hill is heavily used by regular traffic, emergency services, motorbikes and taxis at all hours, every day so it will only get worse.

Report on FixMyStreet
Big potholes opened up, 17th January
The potholes keep opening due to the fact the road is heavily used because of the school and regular traffic. It has been a recurring issue for many months. It forces traffic to swerve to avoid damage to their cars which may result in an RTC or a pedestrian being injured especially right infront of a primary school. Living in close range I have had many near misses both ways with traffic trying to avoid it.

Water discharge over footway and onto highway, 29th November
There is discharge from the property banking at the junction with Aikbank Road and A595 Loop Road North. The water discharges from the bank and over the public footway and onto the public highway. During this cold weather I have nearly had an accident getting out of the junction due to the road surface being slippy. This is discharging at the junction and is a slow run hence the freezing. The discharge also is present a little bit on the U4295 which is maintained by Cumberland Council however affects the National Highways Network more hence my report to yourselves. This has been happening for a while however I have only noticed it get slippy now during the cold snap.
