One mile of potholes, 16th April
The whole road, a mile long! Full of bad potholes, most you can just see now as the waters starting go ( the roads been flooded since October) I'm not sure you can call it a road anymore as there's not many places with tarmac on it! It's doing god knows what damage to my car and as its a dead end I have no option but to use it!

Severely Damaged Road, 15th April
Dear Sirs,
My 83 year old mother in law is being overlooked by the local highways team in Shropshire.
She now lives alone at the far end of Alderley Lane and down another track to her bungalow.
Over the years I have known her she has always managed to get down the lane to shop, go to medical appointments and have valuable social time with friends.
The lane has historically been bumpy and floods regularly and after many years of complaining some pot holes were fixed by the local council which helped but not by a lot.
Recently a new farmer has taken over the land. Up until last week I had seen no change in the lanes state. Last week the new farmer used equipment that was too heavy and wide for the lane. This was used to deliver slurry to the fields.
These vehicles have brought the lane back to square one. Drainage has been damaged, potholes have reappeared and in places the road has sunk. Flooding that had been dealt with has now returned.
One pothole is new and deep and will damage cars I have no doubt on that point.
The state is so bad that carers, postmen and the bin lorry have all refused to provide their services to her. This is not her faiult and is definitely the fault of the farmer.
Please can you address this status as a matter of urgency and give this some attention. It really is very unfair on her and she does not have the energy to complain unlike me.
At the very least this lane needs to be cleared of debris and potholes refilled. To be honest the whole lane has needed to be resurfaced for about the past 10 years. It needs effective drainage and ditches dug.
I hope you can atl least take a look for yourselves.
Kind Regards

Pothole road fault on pedestrian crossing, 12th April
Today at 15.10pm, I witnessed a lady crossing at the pedestrian crossing be thrown from her wheelchair at this location as her front wheels got stuck in the long pothole, surface damage, which then propelled her forward out of her wheelchair onto the road. Luckily another passerby helped her up and got her safely out of the road. This is unacceptable! This needs action immediately! The whole road surface in this location has been reported on multiple occasions and still nothing has happened to remedy the issues. What 3 words relieves.crisps.goodnight

Huge amounts of mud covering road surface, 8th April
The road surface of Church Lane, particularly the Aston end, is very badly covered in mud. I agree with others who have reported this issue. On Saturday, we were travelling along Church Lane towards Soulton Rd and faced four tractors with tankers. They are churning up the verges, including those outside properties, creating mud which then blocks the drains. It’s really not acceptable.

Pot hole at side of road in Church Lane, 8th April
Very big pot hole on Church Lane which is a very narrow lane. I accidentally drove into it while giving space to a pedestrian on the other side of the road. Probably exacerbated by large tractors constantly driving along there, we faced four in a row yesterday afternoon while trying to get to Soulton Road.

Road flooded for months, 28th March
The road has been flooded since October! But happens every time we have some rain. The water has no where to go as the ditches are full ( probably full of mud because they are not cleaned out ever. No drainage at all. The waters just sat in the road so when you drive through you can't see where the potholes are , so God knows what damage its doing to my car!?
