51.882598 0.995438

Multiple pot holes all on the left side of the road. These were caused by heavy plant/construction traffic during the construction of the new estate, Pavillion View. The road is now collapsing on the left side and the pot holes are worsting, so much so it is no long possible to have to cars pass each other in certain parts of Church Road.

Flooding, 12th March

Sun, 12 Mar 2023 17:23:19 +0000
51.865181 0.993081

At the bottom of the hill when it rains heavy the road into Arlesford floods and the water is deep. This road is divided by solid white lines forcing people to cross these solid lines to avoid the water. It is unlit at night and is a national limit. The amount of water forces people to serve but if they hit the car will loose control and a crash is highly likely. This is dangerous.

This pothole id progressively getting worse and I think is as a result of subsidence following work by the gas company recently. I fear damage to my and others vehicles and could easily cause an accident with drivers being forced to swerve to avoid the pothole
