Massive amounts of mud and dirt, 4th March

Sat, 04 Mar 2023 15:34:28 +0000
53.701451 -2.191842

The situation on Pennine Road is a disgrace, mud, dirt and dust are being left on the road and pavements by trucks passing (mostly travelling above the 20mph speed limit!) from/to the nearby quarry. This is causing a safety issue as the road is slippy and there are clumps of clay/mud scattered along the road. There is also the health issue of residents breathing in the dust from these deposits. The state of mine and other residents' vehicles is unbelievable, they are covered in debris from the trucks which is causing problems, not only to the paintwork but also to the mechanics of the vehicle as the engine, brakes etc. are being clogged up by the thick dust. It is pointless and expensive to have the vehicles cleaned as as soon as they are cleaned, they are filthy again within minutes. I want to know who will pay and or come to clean my car on a (very!!) regular basis?

The wheel wash at the quarry isn’t working. This is causing pennine road and the surrounding area, also the town centre and Burnley road being caked in mud and clay. This is making it hazardous to drive on, and is making cars including my own filthy. The clay and mud is hindering brakes on vehicles.

The quarry (Tong Lane Quarry) has an agreement with LCC. There are over 30 wagons per day using these roads and this is the mess residents have to put up. People as far as Burnley Road Bacup are also complaining. It appears that the wheel wash may not be working again. The road sweeper just spreads it further afield.

Parking on a bend + unnecessary obstruction of the road, 17th March

Tue, 17 Mar 2020 16:26:08 +0000
53.692916 -2.197949

During school hours of 15:00-15:40 drivers park on the bend of this road when coming from New Line, this causes an unnecessary obstruction of the road to drivers. This also causes a danger to all road users as they're unable to safely navigate this section of road due to the obstructions, frequently having to straddle the white lines in order to tackle a blind left hand bend when view obstructed by parked vehicles. This continues to be a prevelent issue that appears to only be getting worse.

Tue, 20 Nov 2018 11:04:11 +0000
53.691179 -2.190086

Since stack Lane has been tarmaced it has become more widely used as a cut through from Britannia to Newline and vice versa, at the bottom of the lane on Newline cars are parked on both sides of the lane as there are no yellow road markings making this a blind risk especially when trying to turn right onto Newline , There have been many near misses as motorist pull out into oncoming traffic, I am very concerned for cyclist also as they would not stand a chance against cars pulling out blind , this Lane should be a one way road up towards Britannia were visability for pulling out is not a problem
