Multiple potholes over a very large area of the junction, 7th March
The road surface has now broken up completely, the tarmac no longer exists and has reached the subsoil. The depth of the damage at this junction is below 1ft. The worst side is the left, where the Boxted Road joins the A134. The scale of the damage is now immense and spread over a very large area. It has been like it since before Christmas 2023.

Large deep pothole with stones missing, 3rd March
On the main road near Tog Lane there is a large deep pothole with parts of stones missing.
In the dark this would be dangerous if someone hit it.
Along this stretch of road there are 2-3 more potholes if similar size along the same side of the road
Please can these be checked as I think this could be dangerous

Failure of road repair causing flooding to properties Rosemary & Camelot, 28th December
Subsidence/failure of the road surface is causing excess surface water from road to be routed down the driveways of the afore mentioned properties rather than into surface water drain, causing flooding and damage to property.
Sandbags have been deployed between road and property during heavy rain fall, a few of these can be seen in photos.
Road surface was excavated to allow placement of fibre optic cables by company "Giga clear" roughly 1-2 years ago.
Subsequent back filling of trench and resurfacing of road surface appears insufficient.
Subsidence and cracking can been seen on island created by channelling and angle of road surface in area in question appears to have been altered over time with weight of vehicles driving along road.

Breakdown of road surface, 21st December
Flooding on road which isn't drying up. Road is therefore breaking up and becoming very dangerous to drive along. The road at night is not lit so drivers are unaware of the danger. Heavy vehicles use old house road and they are breaking the road up further

Unsafe pavement surface, 29th November
This pavement which runs in front of 17-21 Blackbrook Road has had NO maintenance for decades. It is now crumbling, has huge cracks, is covered in moss and has virtually no surface left. It's in an atrocious state. Repairs to sections of other pavements on Blackbrook Road were carried out last week (w/c 20/11/23) which were in nowhere near as bad a state as this path. What needs to be done to raise a priority repair on this path?
