Pothole and road surface, 12th February
Large deep pothole on left hand side of A519 leaving Eccleshall in the direction of Newport. Between Green Lane crossroads and Johnson Hall nurseries the road surface is breaking up generally on both sides of the A519, the above pothole being the worst item and a danger to motorcyclists and cyclists.

Dead tree on verge., 18th December
This has been reported before and we fear that if the tree were to fall then it would create a dangerous obstruction on the A5013 Stafford Road

Blocked gully, 26th September
This gulley has been blocked for over 12 months and as a consequence, surface water is running into Green Lane, and adding further problems to another gulley which is blocked. Both have been reported numerous times to the Highways Authorities by local residents, but no action taken

Blocked gulley on Green Lane, 26th September
This gulley has been blocked for over 12 months, and as a consequence a very large puddle develops when it is raining, which is hazardous to pedestrians. This is a main route to the local school, and there have been several instances of children and parents being splashed by passing vehicles. This has been reported to the Highways Authority by numerous people over a considerable period, and no action taken.

Growing potholes in area of botched repair, 22nd January
This stretch of the Newport Road has been failing for years. A temporary patch was made in May last year and has now failed. (Its failure was documented in a previous report - 632668 - which remains open). The road is narrow here and HGVs cannot avoid these holes so they are growing by the day. The lorries also "bounce" after hitting the first one, causing further holes at regular intervals and shaking the houses! This area needs proper resurfacing, not bodging with blobs of tarmac as was done last time.

Growing pothole, 11th May
This hole has been reported before (since September 2014), but as updates don't get sent to the council, here's a new report. This hole is now 2 feet long and over 3 inches deep. Every lorry hits it as they really don't have any room to avoid it due to the width of the road. Towards the end of April an engineer viewed it and marked it with her magic paint. However when the repair team were here, fixing another hole a few feet away (we have lots) they chose to ignore this one and others further down the road.

Potential killer pothole, 31st March
This is not a new problem, but I understand updates do not get forwarded to the council. This has been reported for over a year, but is getting worse and is now quite likely to KILL a cyclist or motor-cyclist. Following a shoddy repair by STW over a year ago the surface has continually deteriorated and there is now a 4 inch deep hole with a sharp metal edge facing oncoming traffic. This is not trivial, it is a potential killer. It's on a down-hill stretch and within about 50 yards of a junction where children cross on their way to the primary school (which used to have a lolly-pop crossing, but that's another story). With a narrow road and heavy lorries in both directions even a car-tyre blow out could be extremely serious.

Road surface breaking up, 24th April
In several areas along this section of the Newport Road there are cracks, potholes and "frayed" edges to previous repairs, plus a lot of loose material being thrown around by passing vehicles. With the level of heavy traffic on this road these areas will deteriorate quickly.

Report on FixMyStreet
Ill-fitting manhole cover & damaged road surface, 10th March
The manhole cover no longer fits correctly, meaning that it emits a loud "click-click" whenever a vehicle runs over it. This is irritating for nearby residents and indicates that unless urgent action is taken the cover could fracture and collapse. There are several places on the road nearby, alongside previous patch repairs, that are starting to break up. This is a busy road with many heavy lorries and small holes grow quickly.

Large Pot Hole, 7th July
There is a large pot hole in the road outside the rear entrance to the Eagle Inn public house, in Small Lane Eccleshall. It has been ther for several Weeks or more!
Report on FixMyStreet
Loose Manhole Cover, 29th June
The manhole at this location has a loose or broken cover which makes a "clack-clack" sound when a vehicle drives over it. As the road is quite narrow, more vehicles hit it than miss it. Presumably this is putting strain on the cover which may break.

Row of potholes, 30th May

Pothole - slow response from SCC, 1st June
Some time ago a pothole was reported in this location and promptly repaired (within 2 weeks). Later a new pothole started to form alongside the original patch. This was reported to SCC on 12 April 2010 (report 1056788). It has since been re-reported on five more occasions, yet all that has happened is some white paint has been put down. Lorries cannot miss this pothole because of the road width and cars hit it regularly. It is growing wider and deeper and I can't drive in or out without hitting it. I am worried about possible damage to my car and that the repair will need to be more extensive (and expensive) than if it had been done promptly - resulting in higher council tax for local residents.

Empty grit bins everywhere..!!!, 5th January
None of our local grit bins have been filled since Christmas. The roads in this area are slippery and icy.
It doesnt help though when selfish people are stealing grit for their own drives by the bucket load...

Poor Street Lighting, 8th March
The lighting on the strech of Newport Road south of Cross Butts is not good. The lighting further into town was recently upgraded (though it was already better than in this area) ... are there any plans to upgrade this section?
