FIXMYSTREET IN LA6 3LW
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of LA6 3LW:
Blocked Stone Drain Under Highway (A687), 5th January
After the recent rain levels the highway drain which takes water from the side of the highway under the road to a ditch has not be able to cope with the volume of water. This drain also takes the water from a land drain which runs in my property adjacent. Water has been backing up significantly and I have tried to rod the stone pipe under the highway and there appears to be a serious blockage/collapsed drain approximately in the middle of the road. Where the stone drain meets the edge of the highway there is a stone wall which is the boundary of my property and there is no man hole or correct sump where the pipe is located. I have found a stone slab under the highway verge to locate the end of the drain. I would suggest this would require something installed to prevent anything other than water to be able to get into the drain. Additionally the build up of surface water on the road due to the collapsed drain under the highway creates which is located opposite my property, results in water being sent into the property curtilage after every passing vehicle.

Small but deep pothole, 13th July
Cycling southwards I was nearly thrown from my bike after hitting a serious pothole just before the "friends meeting house" sign (approx 50 yards farther on). While not wide, the hole is severely deep & liable to cause damage to cycles & injury to persons if left unattended.

Issues with the drains, 25th February
The road drain is leaking and draining into our field making it virtually useless for anything. This has been an issue for some time and by the looks of things, sand bags have been used to try to deal with the problem.

New road surface raised above level of adjoining track, 24th February
Full width resurfacing in 2017 has raised the level of the road above the adjoining farm track. Resident of Whaitber Farm complains that the lip is damaging her car and states that other farm entrances were finished level with the track surface. Can the level be matched by filling the pothole which is developing? Reported by Parish Council at request of resident.
