FIXMYSTREET IN EH49 6AG
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of EH49 6AG:
Pothole next to manhole cover, 18th April
This was reported recently but a different pothole has been filled. The one referred to is directly opposite the postbox and the manhole cover is a different shape from the one repaired. The metal manhole cover is likely to rip tyres. Drivers who spot the pothole in time swerve to avoid it, which could result in an accident.

Pothole Directly opposite postbox, 11th April

Repaired pothole has failed, 15th March
Best, pothollesman previously repaired by the looks of it, but it's failed again. It's right where you put your tires as you're driving along and it's getting kind of deep with sharp-ish edges

Deep pothole, 28th February
It's not overly big but it's quite deep - it's just about the right width to be dangerous to tires. Think it was patched recently but the patch has failed. Lots of debris from it scattered around

Large pothole shortly after the crest of the hill. Looks like a previous patch that has failed. About 1m long at it's longest point. It's on the side of the road nearest the retirement flats and is just over crest of the hill so hard to dodge

Really nasty pothole, 16th December
This pothole appeared recently. It looks like an existing repair job has failed really badly. It's probably 10cm deep, has quite steep edges, is scattering debris everywhere as folk hit it, and is just the right size for a tire to get in to. It's only a matter of time before someone pops a tire on it. Two others have opened up in line with it and there's another further into Springfield Road opposite the bus stop which got a partial repair a while ago that is failing as well and is also right where your tires naturally go in the road (4 in total within a few meters of each other).

How to Park Illegally Like a Pro: A Masterclass by British Transport Police and Police Scotland Vans!, 15th December
Wow, witnessing the remarkable parking skills of the British Transport Police and Police Scotland vans today. Their impressive mastery of flouting the law while setting an exemplary standard for meaningful enforcement is truly commendable. I mean, who needs accessible roads and pavements when you can have a picturesque display of illegal parking instead? Bravo, folks! Your audacity to boldly ignore Part 6 of the Transport (Scotland) Act 2019 speaks volumes about your commitment to chaos. Round of applause for this exhibition of vehicular gymnastics!
