Potholes and poor road surface, 26th April
Some repairs have been done on this stretch of road however now the roads have dried up there are still potholes and generally poor road surfaces. It looks like an abandoned road! I still have to drive less than 10mph over this stretch of road. It needs repairing asap whilst it’s dry.
Also noted that the frame entrance has bee repaired which I suspect is a private road and the farm vehicles are causing some of the issues with the public road. I would appreciate you early attention to fix this stretch of road. Thankyou

Please visit site + reassess your earlier Update, 13th March
Hello, you have just posted today an update to the Outstanding Potholes which were not repaired following contractors repairs of last week.
Your update states: “our priority is to be effective at responding to the most serious problems so at this time we are unable to provide an exact timescale”.
Whilst driving on this particular stretch of road, it is not possible to drive at 20 mph or even 10 mph or 5 mph without damaging the tyres, suspension or steering of your vehicle. You have to come to a complete – STOP and then to carefully manoeuvre over the sharp edged Potholes – some of which are 10” deep.
It is so hazardous for cyclists particularly when the Potholes are covered with rain water - an accident is just waiting to happen.
Can I therefore please ask whoever wrote this update, that they attend Station Road to see first-hand themselves the severity of these deep and hazardous Potholes.
If your priority is indeed at responding: “to be effective at responding to the most serious problems”
Then on your own admission and criteria, you would wish to review this update and schedule for these outstanding works as a priority.
These comments andthe reports from other local residents and users of this road, is in the backdrop of Highways being notified as far back as October 2023 – 6 months ago. After waiting for 6 months, only 2 contractors attended for only 2 days. The gentlemen on their own admission clearly did not have enough time or material in order to complete the job, and now you reply …. “so at this time we are unable to provide an exact timescale”.
Would please visit this road in question, re assess for the hazardous Potholes adjacent to Boycott Farm and schedule to complete these works.
I enlose 3 further photos taken today (13th March 2024).
Thank you,

False / misleading updates - Poholes still not Fixed., 12th March
Sad to report, but the severe deep potholes have still not been repaired - opposite Boycott Farm, Station Road.
I enclose photos taken this morning (12th March 2024) which clearly show 10+ deep hazardous Potholes which were not fixed last week and which remain outstanding.
Can you please complete this work as promised. Your stated update of last week as "Fixed" is wholly inacurate and false. You should not state - "Fixed" because as you will see from todays photos - it is not fixed.
2 -3 tonnes of hot tarmacadam + 2 men over 1 or 2 days will sort it.
Thank you, 12th March 2024

Roadside drain blocked, 22nd February
This drain gully is full of mud and rubbish preventing water flowing from the road into the brook. Failure to attend to these problems is false economy as accelerated damage to the road is going to be the result .

Station Road - Worst Pothole /disintegration of road in Shropshire, 3rd February
Hello - your updates relating to this same issue - along Station Road adjacent to Boycot Hall and Boycot Farm ... say: "We're pleased to advise you that this work has now been completed" .
No such works have been completed, other than major road works being currently undertaken on other nearby roads and in particular the Malehurst Road.
This major problem to Station Road was reported on the 27th November and to my knowledge the problem existed in September 2023 - some 5 months ago.
Could somebody please explain, why Station Road, Pontesbury is being continually - year after year neglected, for other less serious road repairs in the same area utilising major resources and personnel.
It is now necessary that Station Road needs to be reviewed by management at Highways, to reassess outstanding essential major road repairs.
It seems that somebody has downgraded the road or unfairly given it an allocation which means that resources are limited and pot hole repairs are only undertaken with the minimum of resorces and only after months of delay.
Can somebody, please resolve this quickly to save me escalating this matter.
Can somebody who is responsible for scheduling work and managing budgets - please drive down this road personally - in his / her own car - to see personally how dangerous and hazardous it is.
Thank you,

Dangerous hole appeared next to drain, 2nd February
A deep hole has opened up next to a drain cover where the road seems to have collapsed into the drain. The hole is deep enough and wide enough to capture the wheel of a bicycle, motorbike or small car - all of which I drive regularly along this stretch of road. In the dark it would have someone off or break a cars suspension for sure.
