52.580767 -3.036354

The potholes are continuing to get larger and increase in number. Due to this in the single-track highwaiy is impossible to miss at least one. The road is still becoming increasingly dangerous. Any further subsidence will mean that we may be isolated from safe access

52.584784 -3.000055

Between my house Birch Tree House Gravels (sign for Lower Stapeley} and Fox hill farm on the A488rd ii own the field to the west of the A488 and this field had all new drains a few years back but now the water is running down this field like a brook. I have checked the highway and found that the drains and manholes along this stretch are blocked on both sides of the road .Could this problem be rectified as soon as this is doing conciderable damage to my field .Thank you.

Side of road collapsing, keeps getting worse, 27th November

Mon, 27 Nov 2023 15:21:16 +0000
52.580809 -3.036368

First reported before Covid this roadside has continued to collapse into the underground stream. It will not be long before a large vehicle causes it to completely collapse. I have to warn every delivery, such as this mornings oil tanker, to take extra care at this point. Water running down the hill is also contributing to road erosion.

Land drain blocked, and road collapsing, 17th November

Fri, 17 Nov 2023 09:07:25 +0000
52.580509 -3.036091

Due to high water volume running down track, land drain has filled with gravel etc. I have re-dug the ditches several times, and have tried to unblock the drain, but cannot. Severn Trent looked, but said it's a council responsibility. It needs fixing before more damage is caused to the road, as it is already collapsing at the bottom of the hill and becoming dangerous. If it freezes in the current state, both properties will struggle to access their houses. At the very least, please unblock the drain, but at the best, please review the situation down the whole hill - I am having to dig the ditch out every month to keep the water flowing down the side and not across the whole road, and fix the collapsing road at the bottom before it becomes more dangerous. Many thanks

52.583229 -3.001075

A very large and deep pothole has appeared in the carriage way over the weekend. I'd imagine if someone wasn't being observant and they were to hit it considerable damage could be caused to their vehicle.

2x large deep potholes with sharp edges in the carriageway. When you swerve to avoid the first you think it is dlsafe to pull into the lane again when you come across a second hole that is even larger and equally as dangerous.

On the way to work this morning I noticed this pot hole has appeared following last weeks snow and freezing temperatures. Large enough to damage a car wheel etc. Likely this morning with it being light and nothing coming the other way I was able to avoid it.

Several large potholes in roadway and side of road collapsing, 8th February

Wed, 08 Feb 2023 23:09:45 +0000
52.580784 -3.03637

The state of the road/lane at this location has steadily been getting worse. Currently it is almost impossible to traverse the lane without hitting potholes or driving off it's side. On one side the road surface is collapsing and has so been doing for several years. Reported before COVID to surveying team but nothing has happened. It will not be long before the oil tanker or a delivery van destroys that part of the lane essentially isolating our cottage from even emergency access (we are both aged 70+).
