Very large puddle in the road, 5th April
It’s been like this for over three months now, it’s a huge inconvenience and will start causing damage to our vehicles and to the road no doubt. My neighbour is disabled and she cannot access the other end of the village to the bus stop, pub and to friends as the puddle is far to deep for her mobility scooter and she can’t walk her dogs either. A lot of the residents that have lived in the village for years and years have said they have never seen it so bad, it’s happened before but eventually would seep away on its own and now it’s not going anywhere.
