Water running down road., 7th December

Tue, 07 Dec 2021 10:25:21 +0000
52.255556 0.564673

A large volume of water is running down the west side of Coalpit Lane as far as the railway line. This consistently happens after heavy rain and presumably is caused by a blocked ditch or drain. The volume is enough to force cars into oncoming traffic and when icy it freezes to make the road treacherous.

Potholes are getting deeper over the months due to heavy traffic and the width of the road and closeness to pond where ducks are continually crossing the road causes vehicles to drop into potholes and potential wheel/tyre damage

Lack of road markings, 13th February

52.252407 0.565949

Now that Barrow village is so large this road from the A11 is so busy and it is hazardous especially when dark and I feel that the provision of cats' eyes would be beneficial. Traffic speeds along the route often using full beam which makes travelling in opposite direction a nightmare.

Approx 250m of road has broken up, 22nd April

Fri, 22 Apr 2016 14:17:24 +0100
52.246566 0.578011

Church road ip295ax between the primary school and the pond on the corner has heavy traffic during school drop off and collection. The local post office is down the road and elderly people are afraid to use the road due to the kerbs sticking out and Tarmac breaking away. This has created rubble on the road which can be flicked up by the cars and may hit the children walking to school. Urgent attention required.

Pot hole around/beside drain-cover., 19th April

Tue, 19 Apr 2016 19:40:48 +0100
52.242485 0.581732

Broken road surface (pothole) beside and around cast iron drain cover opposite Brittons Road pond in The Street. When raining it is hidden by a large puddle as I suspect the road damage has broken the drain across the road into the pond. Although on the edge of the road it is close to the Traffic Calming and causes vehicles to swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid it.
