Another 10"x12" pothole right on the junction of Hall Lane and Penny Lane, left-hand side close to the edge and hedges., 23rd April

Tue, 23 Apr 2024 11:46:13 +0100
53.39258 -2.76451

This pothole is very close to a blind bend used by oncoming vehicles of all types. Approaching along Hall Lane into Penny Lane the hole is so huge that one has to drive over and onto the opposite lane with a very high potential of crashing into oncoming traffic!! Due to lack of maintenance over many weeks this pothole is an accident waiting to happen.

12"x10" pothole in the area of the curb which has become a distraction to me whilst using this part of the road., 23rd April

Tue, 23 Apr 2024 11:21:33 +0100
53.392508 -2.764235

I want to report this pothole defect in Hall Lane because it was the cause of my being thrown from my bicycle and causing damage to my rib cage as I hit the ground. This injury is causing me a lot of discomfort and loss of sleep during this time. The pothole is located in Hall Lane, in close proximity to the sandstone house and its gated entrance that is right on the corner junction of Smithy Lane and Hall Lane.

Cars persistently parked on double yellow, 31st March

Sun, 31 Mar 2024 16:31:26 +0100
53.367873 -2.757434

This is a persistent problem. Cars park on the double yellows on the approach to the trafic light junction, this then causes the left lane used for going straight on to become blocked until all the trafic in the right lane (used for turning right only) has cleared. I've even witnessed police cars sat in trafic waiting due to these cars parked there, instead of doing there job and sorting the issue

On Hale road coming up towards the traffic lights opposite Dundalk road. There are vehicles parking on broken double yellow lines. These vehicles park right up to the lights which is causing problems with traffic not being able to get through the lights when on green and traffic turning right into Dundalk Road. Problem has been for a very long time now and nothing being done to enforce the issue. Peak times in the morning are a problem.

Fri, 02 Feb 2024 14:13:03 +0000
53.389756 -2.747972

As you drive up the lane from Cronton Road, the roadway becomes marked by a series of unavoidable potholes that span its width, leaving little room for drivers to navigate around them. These potholes are substantial, reaching a depth of at least 5 inches and presenting considerable size. Progressing up the hill, additional sizable potholes emerge at various points along the road, further contributing to the challenging driving conditions.
