The footpaths all along Ballingdon Hill are so overgrown you can barely fit on to walk along them at all. With the speed of traffic along there it is so, so dangerous.

Illegal use of kerb ramps, 18th October

Mon, 18 Oct 2021 09:38:41 +0100
52.022228 0.689407

The guy who owns the last house has been using kerb ramps to access his make shift drive to park a campervan driving over the public pavement, whilst also being abusive to parents that park on church road to use the nearby school and nursery. As far as I was aware, using kerb ramps on the public highway was illegal and placing them on the road out the front of your property to stop other road users to park there is definitely not a reasonable reason to become aggressive if some one parks on the road near to them.

Report on FixMyStreet

The pipe under the road at Lower Houses must be locked as water is gushing out of a Council manhole approximately 40 meters north east of Wheatcroft. (The property on the corner). Looking in the grate at the bottom of the hill, there does not seem to be any water in via the pipe. (ie It is all coming in from the top of the road, which could be very dangerous in icy weather.), 11th February

All as above. The pipe from the Council drain 40 meters up the hill towards Bulmer from Wheatcroft, ( the house on the corner at Lower Houses), appears to be blocked as no water seems to be entering the grated drain at the bottom of the hill. The water on the road could be very dangerous in icy weather.

Poor Quality Dangerous Resurfacing of Major Road, 28th April

Sun, 28 Apr 2019 17:56:15 +0100
52.031252 0.713543

Whilst it's nice for a road to be resurfaced to completely cover multiple potholes that often make the roads in Essex & Suffolk resemble the surface of the Moon, It should be questioned WHY the A131 at Ballingdon Hill , has been treated with a scatter of loose surface of stones in uneven quantities and with uneven adhesive to make hardly any of the stones stick and become part of the permanent road surface, its dam right dangerous to use that road at present, WHY was a major road left in that state,(I recognise that a 20mph skid risk speed limit is posted) but even cars going slightly over 20mph are peppering other motorists with flying debris, Perhaps the travelling public can't allow for their journey to take double the travel time, or maybe they didn't know of problem in advance, The only thing this will be good for will be The bottom line of Windscreen companies & car bodywork/grille/cooling system car repair companies Perhaps we can have clarity over who made this application of the work to take place in this manner, perhaps they can be voted out of post as have they haven't considered all the options and safety/financial hardship of damage so caused

The grass verges on the single track lane haven't been cut for a couple of months and are very overgrown. There is nowhere for pedestrians, particularly dogs and dog walkers, to stand to allow cars to pass. Driving is becoming more difficult along the lane, with risk of paintwork being scratched by overgrowth.

Pot hole has been here since MARCH. It has been reported many times and still nothing has been done about it. There are two very close to one another. It has been 5 months since it was reported and still nothing has been done. I almost was involved in a collision with another vehicle the other day as the pothole has grown since March to the point where people are having to go around it, just before a 90 degree bend, which i happened to be coming around at the time to find them on my side of the road.
