Illegal and dangerous parking on Shire Ridge for School Pickups, 11th March
Despite there being double yelow lines on both side of Shire Ridge where it joins with the Lichfield Road. every day (apart from wednesdays) at just before 3pm - parents are parking not only on the double yellow lines, they are also double parked on both sides of the street causing an obstruction, and also within 10Ms of the Junction.
The bend before the junction and for those turning into shire ridge is blind and there have been several near misses where cars are in the middle of the road.They also creating a hazard for those children who choose the better option and walk to and from school and do not need their parents to nearly park in the classroom to collect them, as they are trying to cross roads between these parked cars, again the number of near misses seen now is becoming unacceptable.

There was horse riding sign, on entrance to castlehill from Chester rd, there is going to be an accident shortly on castlehill with horse ridden animals & speed of vehicles coming off Chester rd, other than the sign being hit by an articulated lorry who was using this lane as a cut through to the local B&M near to the bottom of castlehill rd, which was reported at the time, as it look a lot of big branches with it from front of dwellings & the farm, the big arch of trees isn’t used to such high vehicles, this lane onto castlehill rd, is being used along with shire ridge, shire oak, onto Holly lane castlehill rd & castlefort rd, since the traffic lights where sequenced at streets corner, in rush hour times this estate is with care homes & schools, there’s a lot of elderly too, it’s a rabbit run, young people ride their horses, we understand horses are not to everyone’s liking, we are courteous to other road users, local taxi drivers are completely ignorant to horses, by how close at speed, some in electric vehicles which is another problem, startling for anyone when again speed is the massive issue here, not to mention up to date hyway code, regarding speed & space & if need be stop if there a problem & a rider signals the traffic to stop, they’ll remove the problem as quickly as possible if is the horse, I’ll await your reply Kind regards Mrs J Kendall

Lethal placement of signs at already dangerous fast busy junction, 20th June
The placement of signs at this junction on Gravelly Road is going to kill one or more people. It is blocking traffic from turning left & right off Chester road (busy 50mph) in both directions. It is blocking traffic approaching from Birch Lane & crossing to Gravelly Lane. Forcing all vehicles to enter the wrong lane at a junction.
This road is not however closed. The closed road is a small and little used lane to Fothetley. Gravelly Lane is used to access Church Road before the closed road. The sign is wholly unnecessary in its location. Wouldn’t be an issue but it’s placement has created an unbelievably dangerous situation.
If a car is coming from Gravelly Road to either cross to Birch lane or turn left or right onto Chester road they are in a highly dangerous position for all cars wishing to turn off Chester Road because to do so the sign has blocked that lane so they must go into the wrong lane.
The signs are also completely blocking the view right along the Chester road.
If a car on Chester Road has entered the central filter to turn right when a car is waiting to join Chester Road they are both blocking each others passage & either no one moves or one has to reverse. Even more dangerous!

Van parked on pavement blocking junction view, 1st February
Tall van parks on pavement This results in leaving narrow access and/or pedestrians having to step onto road. This route is used by school children. In addition it blocks the view of motorists coming out of Shire Ridge making it impossible to see traffic coming down the Lichfield road and is likely to cause an accident.
