Gate post rotted Gte only held up by catch, 24th April

Wed, 24 Apr 2024 00:10:46 +0100
54.909303 -1.834574

Apart from the bridle path being ploughed out in 3 fields, the issue is the gate in the location is only being held up by the gate latch. It will collapse when opened as the gate post has rotted through. It fell on me when I opened it. It's dangerous and needs to be fixed.

Poor surface causing damage to vehicles, 1st February

Thu, 01 Feb 2024 12:44:35 +0000
54.930747 -1.840062

There are a large number of wide and deep holes that are causing unavoidable damage to vehicles along this stretch of Engine Road. It's damaging to local business reputation and is costing people money in unavoidable repairs due to the shockingly bad condition of the road. Unless you're driving a 4x4, you can almost guarantee that bumper or wheel damage will occur by transiting this road.

Unusable by normal road going vehicles, 1st February

Thu, 01 Feb 2024 12:37:15 +0000
54.929905 -1.841001

The entrance to Engine Road is now completely unusable by normal road going vehicles without sustaining damage to bumpers. Potholes are over 6ft in diameter and in some cases 1ft deep. How can normal road going cars be expected to transit safely? There are businesses and residences that require access to this road. I have a damaged bumper due to the neglected condition and depth of the unavoidable potholes and will be sending Northumberland County Council a bill for the repairs.

Roadside drain blocked causing flooding, 27th October

Fri, 27 Oct 2023 15:25:19 +0100
54.920648 -1.849381

The drain on the side of the road is blocked causing the road to flood and the houses further down the lane are being affected too with the amount of water running down the lane. Water off the fields and the blocked drain. When the cold weather arrives the lane is dangerous and will potentially be inpassible with this amount of frozen water if the drain isn't fixed. Thank you.
