Unsafe parking on corner of junction, 10th January
This van parks on the corner of the junction to a main road daily and blocks view of oncoming traffic coming up John de bois hill when joining from spring valley lane. Large vehicles especially find it hard to manoeuvre around this corner due to the unsafe parking of the white van which in turn disrupts the flow of traffic wishing to enter down spring valley lane from the hill. This has been an ongoing issue for several months now as owner refuses to park vehicle in a safe spot.

Pot hole has resulted in my tyre puncture, 17th December
Yesterday 15th December 2023 I drove down the road and due to the rain went into the pothole. I didn’t think anything of it but this morning I was leaving my Christmas works due at wivenhoe house and a huge flat puncture in my tyre which has resulted in calling the RAC for recovery. And a £180 on a new tyre which is being fitted 17th December 2023. If the pothole was there this wouldn’t have resulted in damage to my vehicle
