FIXMYSTREET IN CR8 2AN
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of CR8 2AN:
Huge number of potholes between junction with Manor Way and junction with Woodcote Grove Road, 4th May
I use Woodcote Valley Road to travel from Coulsdon to Croydon frequently as do many others. The condition this road is in is absolutely appalling. It is littered with potholes and looks like it has been bombed. The road around the sleeping policemen is crumbling. I drive a classic car with very expensive wheels that are now basically unobtainable and I have to take extreme car using this road to avoid damaging them. The whole road is bad but the section between the junction with Woodcote Grove Road the the first junction with Manor Way is particularly dire. I have taken over 20 photos of the damage today but I am only able to upload a few. The whole road is in desperate need of resurfacing.

Faulty Speed Camera, 3rd May
Good afternoon,
First of all, I would really like to say that getting to this point (where writing this message) took ages, the whole process is so unbelievable hard and made to give up before getting here, so not helpful at all! This is not a way of helping people, but just for them to give up when trying to report an issue! Shameful!
WHAT IS WRONG!? The speed camera on A23, Brighton Road, towards Gatwick, after passing Tesco (on the left side)! THAT CAMERA THAT FLASHES VEHICLES DRIVING 30MPH AND LOWER IN A 30MPH ZONE! STOP ROBBING PEOPLE! You should be shame! People driving 25 and less keep getting flashed by that speed camera supposed to flash 30/33 MPH above! That’s way too greedy authorities trying to steal peoples money! STOP IT!
I have footage & photos/screenshots from my professional camera fitted on my car driving 26MPH at 2AM and the above mentioned speed camera on a 30MPH flashed me WHAT FOR!? And other 2 cars that were about 200 m behind me the same, after seeing me being flashed!? AND NO WAY TO REPORT THIS ISSUE!?
This is horrendous what’s going on and happening! I HOPE I WON’T GET A FINE AS I’M GONNA PUBLISH THIS ALL OVER AND SUE ALL GREEDY RESPONSABLE AUTHORITIES AND OTHERS WILL FOLLOW ME I PROMISE!
Thank you!

Junction of Highfield Road with Plough Lane: No Yellow Lines, 30th April
There are no double yellow lines at the junction of Highfield Road with Plough Lane. This is unlike other junctions with Plough Lane. Cars are frequently parked very near this junction and present a hazard to moving traffic during busy periods as cars have to negotiate their way past the parked vehicles. This also interrupts flow along the road causing cars to queue and back-up.

Many potholes, 3rd April
On Sanderstead Road, from Briton Hill Road to Mayfield Road there are many deep potholes that are in the centre of the road, on both sides and on the kerbside. This part of the road has been like this for many months and I would suggest that it needs a full resurfacing before cars start having damage occurring.

Roadworks causing delays, 2nd April
The roadworks sign says roadworks finish at 5pm each day. Well at 6.20pm they were still there but no sign of anyone doing any work and there was a 20 minute queue of traffic going back along pampisford road.... if the road works are there for the extent of the works why is there a time on all of the signage?! And why hasn't the roundabout jist before the road works also been set up with traffic lights?! When the light turns green no one can go, due the build up of traffic coming from the right on the roundabout! Very poor signage and traffic management here.
