This looks like a bmx course than a road, 21st March
This road from the house onwards is in poor repair. It is unadopted land but was last repaired by the council which surely admits ownership. The rugby club have done what repairs they can to make it safe for their patrons given the limited funding, however the whole road needs resurfacing from the tennis courts all the way to the rugby club. The rugby club hosts a variety of the areas sports club as well as rugby including: wrestling club, gym, aspull juniors, falconry as well as the forestry school. These are all vital groups which improve the Borough and sufficient infrastructure repairs to the road are necessary to make this a safe place for these activities to continue. The road also feed the Village on the Green and some houses nearby which pay council tax, yet are not receiving the benefits in reparations of the road.

Car parked dangerously and illegally on double yellow lines outside my flat., 12th July
Car registration number MD69 FJZ parked illegally on double yellow lines and dangerously right on the corner of Upper Dicconson Street and Grayson's Close Wigan. I wouldn't have reported this but the rear of the car is sticking out dangerously away from the kerb and it is ridiculously parked. This is a permit zone also so it is illegally parked in several ways. I have been out visiting my parents so i don't know how long it has been parked there.

Hazarous roadway and footpath causing damage and injuries, 8th July
The current condition of Ashford Rise roadway and footpaths is now at a state where near misses and incidents are occurring. This is a safety hazard that is not being acknowledged, nor any controls being put in place by the local authority to reduce the risk.
The road way is abnormally uneven with re-occurring sink holes, also the roadway on the hill of Ashford rise is starting to crumble causing a loose top surface. There has been two vehicle incidents in the past three months, where vehicles have skidded on the loose surface. This is also a potential hazard to pedestrians and children in the street.
The footpaths on the street are also at a state of unevenness causing trip hazards. Recently a visitor to the street tripped and was sent to A&E with a head injury.
I understand members of street have been in communication with Wigan Council over the last 2 years, where the council had advised the remediation works would start early summer 2021. When trying to make contact with council recently they have not responded.

These vehicles are always parked. It makes access to the gates difficult and should there be a fire, the emergency service couldn't gain access. A lot of rubbish is being dumped, usually outside the walls of other people's homes instead of their own. It is only a matter of time before this attracts vermin. It can only be people from either Swinley Street, Swinley Lane or Heaton Street as they're the only ones with access.
