Tarmac appears smoothed over causing cars to wheel spin, 17th January
The junction is a very precarious exit from a very well used lane with a steep incline to exit and very limited view onto the 50mph road.
It is already a very hard junction to get out of and quite unsafe, however, the tarmac appears to be smoothed over where cars regularly turn right out of the junction. I travel this route several times a day (turning right) and have noticed my car wheel spinning when trying to exit onto the main road, which put me in a risky situation the other day. I have also had the issue in another car I drive. Today I noticed a van in front also having the same issue, which appeared to be caused due to a lack of grip due to the road condition. It’s only a slight wheel spinning but it is very nerve racking as the junction is hard to safely exit without the added grip issues. There have been many crashes in this location as the junction is already tricky to get out of as you have to do a hill start onto a main road with limited visibility (and often cars speeding!). As the road has now lost its grip, (I don’t think it was mud or ice but it definitely needs someone to observe it) it means cars trying to pull out are wheel spinning, delaying the time they are in a very risky situation for (you have to accelerate fast in case cars are coming!). I feel an accident may occur if the road is not looked at.

A very mature and ecologically important tree is under threat by development, 2nd May
A planning application has been put in for a dwelling on the spot where there is a very mature Sycamore, which is the focal point for wildlife adjacent to apple orchards. If this application is approved there would be no option but to remove this tree.

Tree Preservation Order application, 1st May
This sycamore tree is obviously very old and supports lots of wildlife. I've seen a barn owl landing on it quite regularly and as I look at it now, various small birds are flying in and around it. It is in the hedgerow that runs away from the camera, which is also extremely valuable in terms of habitats for wildlife. I'm concerned that the conversion of the farm building right next to it into a dwelling puts it at risk.
