Deep pothole opposite lamp post 6026, 9th November
If you travel in the direction from Broompark to Stonebridge along the B6302, there is a pothole about two feet in from the edge of the carriageway approximately opposite lamp post 6026. The pothole is at least an inch deep and over a foot long. It could quite easily catch the wheel of a bicycle and cause the cyclist to come off, which on this 60mph road could have very serious consequences.

Tuesday and Thursday 6pm to 8pm parking by Community center visitors, 21st January
Every Tuesday and Thursday evening and also Saturday morning users of the community center are parking on the sidewalks or green areas Oak Tree Mews and Carr Avenue. Sometimes leaving no space for disabled or mothers with trolleys to pass. The sidewalk is used by many as its leading to the local Co-Op store and post office. Community center users and visitors are supposed to use the large parking nearby, but no one is using it. Ive been living in the area for around 2 and a half years and its always been a problem. Metal bars need to be installed on the sidewalk preventing drivers to park on it. Or the sport instructors must notify customers and guests attending the boxing classes to use the designated parking. Part of the green areas are destroyed by tire marks as large SUVs and Pick-up trucks are using it as parking, especially the one on Oak Tree Mews and the one on Carr Avenue right next to the Community center.
