FIXMYSTREET IN LE15 8QW
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of LE15 8QW:
Several deep holes on the edge of the carriage way at Wood Lane Corner, 26th April
The potholes are on the edge of the carriage way but there is one very significant defect and several slightly smaller ones on the south side of the carriageway (left hand side of the road approaching Braunston) shortly before the sharp bend. However because the bend if sharp and blind, one can not see traffic until very late and evasive action is frequently required to avoid an oncoming vehicle and therefore all cars take same route and there is now a significant hole likely to cause damage to a car. Similar issue was on the opposite side of the road a car ago but was attended to by the Council and largely resolved but the defects on the opposite side are now in need to attention please

Pothole about 24 inches long and 3-4 inches deep near Hibbits Lodge, 26th April
The pothole is at the edge of the road but immediately adjacent the road is much wider on the bend so one falls off the road into the pothole especially if any oncoming traffic as the roadway is only just wide enough for cars to pass one another

Large area looks like subsidence, 27th February
Area approx 2' by 2' that has sunk close to the grass bank on Cedar St, been like it for several months - but because cars are always parked on the south west side of the road, there is no opportunity to avoid this sunken area - so vehicles pass over it going both ways along Cedar St - and my horse box drops in every day - twice a day - and it is very difficult to avoid due to the narrow street and roadside parking - it can not be doing the tyres any good! It looked like it was earmarked for repair but nothing has improved
