Several large potholes along the stretch of road, very poor road condition and water logged regularly., 6th March
These pot holes have been continuous and a proper repair is needed please. This has caused tyre damage to our company vehicles and residents are not happy with the state of the road surface. 3 tyres and an alloy have been damaged which we have paid for but it is now unacceptable. This issue has been present for years, the pot holes will be filled on occasions but this doesn't last long as this is a farmer's track and residential road too so it is heavily used.

Drains through the whole of Langham are blocked, 16th February
Almost every single drain through Langham is blocked and full with dirt. When it rains it causes severe flooding, flooding which is flowing through to my property. Several times I've had to use water pumps to stop it breaching the house.
Anglian water have just lifted the lids and seen that its full and backed up with water as seen in the pictures. We are already experiencing severe sewage problems and because water cannot be taken away through the drainage on the roads this is adding to it.
Please send someone immediately to address this. This is effecting the village through out, but most especially on Moor Road, School Road and Chapel Road

Cars are constantly being parked on the yellow zig zags outside of Langham primary school. The path is very narrow and this is making it extremely dangerous for children walking along the path. Parents are dropping off their children thus car doors are being flung open in front of approaching children, it also causes cars to be backed up along the road.
