Collapsed verge causing flooding, 16th February
Road is narrow; vehicles have used a slightly wider part as passing place but this has caused verge to collapse into drainage ditch/stream and subsequent flooding which isn't dissipating; am concerned that drivers will think this is a proper passing place and will be unable to get out of soft verge; whole drainage needs to be looked at on this short stretch of road.

Potholes in 'dip' across road., 16th February
Reported 'trench' which traverses road some time ago but told not an issue. This is now developing potholes across the carriageway which will become a major issue. Cars swerve to avoid. Looks like it was dug for services, not sure which. This stretch of road is full of patches. Not sure why area from Wash Lane to beyond Galloway's coaches was never fully resurfaced when the rest of Old Station Road was done some years ago.

Road Edge caving on single track road into big ditch!!., 1st March

Overgrown footpath and footbridge, 9th June
This has been a problem for at least the 6 years I we have lived in the area. Every summer this footpath becomes completely overgrown with tall grass, nettles and thistles; it is impassible (especially with children) Who's responsibility is it for maintaining this public right of way to ensure that it is safe? Farmer who's land it skirts round or the councils. Either way, I have reported this year on year but still nothing is ever done. We live in a rural area yet we cannot take advantage of these public rights of way in the summer.
