Potholes Icen Lane, 18th December

Mon, 18 Dec 2023 20:49:55 +0000
50.723121 -2.696198

Potholes outside lynch farm. Went down Icen Lane, Saturday evening. The patch of road along Lynch farm caused my car to hit a pot hole with such a bang it was frightening. I was aware it was uneveven as much mud and gravel and water on road so was going around 10 - 15 miles an hour. I'm going to get my vehicle checked for damage because of the drop and noise to car. I class this road as unfit. If any go down that part of the road and hit the pot holes, especially the one I hit. a bad accident is likely. My name is Dawn Tharme tel no:07733235689.

Potholes A35 Bere Regis - Dorchester - both directions, 9th January

Mon, 09 Jan 2023 15:31:38 +0000
50.729809 -2.679024

On both directions of the A35 between Bere Regis and Dorchester there are numerous deep potholes - deep enough to cause a puncture or injury a motorcyclist. Having completed this journey east to west and return today constantly avoiding potholes. Going west they are mainly on the central white lines areas between lanes and heading east mainly in the slow lane. Please note potholes are on tarmac sections only. One of these potholes appears to have been there for over a year - suffered a puncture having hit this pothole in 2021 - HA refused compensation claim! As a strategic highway the 20 or so potholes on this stretch of the A35 need repairing before there is an accident, injury or loss of life?

Bus Stop broken and fallen down on Main A35 Bridport to Dorchester Bus Route, 14th February

Mon, 14 Feb 2022 13:50:07 +0000
50.732869 -2.694941

The Bus Stop sign indicating where the bus should stop has rusted at the turning to Maiden Newton/Askerswell and fallen down into the grass verge. This stop is called Vinney Cross on the Bus Timetable and it is my stop and the other day the bus driver drove right past it so my husband had to walk down the busy A35 with no pedestrian footpath. Very dangerous. This is the main A35 Route from Axminster to Weymouth for the X51 First Bus service and is a busy service and this is a busy fast road. The Bus Stop sign needs replacing urgently.
