Persistant flooding, 20th March
This section of road has been flooded continuously for the past 3 months.
I have to drive through it every day to get to work and nothing is being done about it. The ditch to the south side which runs along Harleston road and into Vaunce's lane is full and clearly not draining any water away.

Raw sewage on road and in ditches, 22nd November
We have raw sewage being pumped on to the road and into the ditch, the water is deep, disgusting and extremely smelly, Its make living here unbearable animals have been getting sick. Many people use this section of the road, we are having to wash our cars down after driving through it and we are unable to walk that way out of our house. I am worried that this water is going into the ditches that feed streams and will be effecting wildlife.

Unseen dangerous crossing point, 13th November
Dangerous pedestrian crossing point, blind bend and 45 degree angle for pedestrians (and mobility scooters) crossing ‘Ipswich road’ Dickleburgh, footpath to footpath diagonally. (In contravention of the rules in the 'Highway Code') overgrown trees and hedging obscuring drivers view of the road (and pedestrian’s crossing the road) as they leave the roundabout traveling into Dickleburgh. (I am aware of Rule H2 of the ‘Highway Code’ regarding drivers watching out for, and under this ‘new regulation’ giving way to pedestrians, BUT in the real world THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN! And the excuse is “what the f##k are you doing in the middle of the road?” and sometimes it was “I couldn’t see you” when the truth is actually “I was driving so fast that I couldn’t see far enough around the bend”, unsurprisingly I have never heard this last retort! As there is street lighting up to and including the roundabout, is this a 30mph limit as per the Highway Code? There are no 'National speed limit signs' present but drivers travel too quickly to be able stop safely. A local PC believes a 'National Speed Limit' exists at this location! Perhaps this is one of those ‘technical’ situations where someone has to be killed before ‘clarification of the law’ becomes ‘law’ because the 60mph (National Speed Limit) applies to the A 140 Dickleburgh bypass, and it appears also to apply (though there no (‘National Speed Limit applies’) signs to the road leaving the roundabout into the village of Dickleburgh, so drivers are traveling as fast as possible around this blind bend! The solution to the problem would be for, works to continue the foot path on the west side of Ipswich road up to the Dickleburgh bypass and provide a crossing point over the Ipswich road connecting the footpath / cycle path prior to crossing the duel carriageway. Drivers would a much clearer view of pedestrians crossing at this point and hopefully driving slower, whilst pedestrians would be afforded a far greater view of the road and approaching traffic, and in addition there would be a refuge on the divider so pedestrians only have to concentrate on one direction of traffic at a time. This divider is wide enough for a mobility scooter to stop between crossing carriageways. Both Clearway signs have their marker boards facing the wrong directions. There are no ‘Give Way’ triangular warning signs for the roundabout on ‘Ipswich road’ Dickleburgh or 'Norwich road' Thelveton. The situation has existed since the construction of the Dickleburgh bypass or perhaps even from the design stage. Unfortunately I have had several near miss incidents recently where the drivers were traveling so fast I did not get the make of the vehicles involved, let alone the registration numbers to report to the police.

Growing pile of rubbish, 14th March
Believe a farmer/contractor started a pile of old wood, tyres and other rubbish a couple of years ago when cleaning out drainage ditches and a pond but it has been there ever since and it looks like others are adding to the pile. Also noticed rat activity whilst walking the dog recently

Street lighting, 7th December
I am a paraplegic wheelchair user, and a few years ago our council removed our much needed Street lights, I live on a very dangerous 40 mph road, and the cars pass at very high speeds. Just recently one evening I pushed myself up the pavement to take a little exercise and to visit a friend, it was so dark I couldn't even see the pavement, obviously I can't use a torch, and I slipped off the the edge of the kerb and nearly fell out of my wheelchair into the road. Apart from myself there are a lot of older people that live on my road including Culrose old people's home. Please could you find out why they removed our street lights.
