Sharing disabled spit to guarantee parking, 13th July
The van and the 2 vehicles behind it all share the disabled spot according to which vehicle is the last to turn up deliberately taking up 3 spaces in the street for one household and if you even think of parking directly infront or behind the disabled spots they become aggressive and demand you move the car atleast 3 metres away from either front or back lines in my opinion the disabled spot should be revoked as its not being used for its intended purposes and is just a way to try and control the parking issues on the street.

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.

Cars stopping on new double yellow lines outside our shop, 11th September
New double yellows and vertical yellow kerb lines were painted on last year outside our shop and opposite, due to the bad parking problem near the main traffic lights in Standish. We are still getting 4-5 vans / cars parking outside our shop every day for 5-10 mins nipping to the other shops in Standish. This area is dangerous, buses can't get passed, traffic is heavy and we cannot see to pull out onto the main shop from behind our shop. We feel that bollards or a metal fence is needed, like the ones on the top of Market Street.

Two pot holes within a few feet of each other, 10th November
Really deep pot holes about 30 foot from each other along this road. With cars parked on other side of road and both sides of traffic having to pass with smaller space it's impossible to avoid these. Been there for years but getting in worse condition

Parked cars always blocking our driveway and the only footpath to estate, 27th September
There is only one road that goes onto our estate. The house opposite us is a house where a disabled man lives who needs carers. It is the carers, and workmen doing work on the property, who regularly visit the house who park and cause a lot of distraction. Not only do they park opposite our driveway, which makes it impossible for us to get on and off without knocking on their door and asking them to move, but there is only pavement on their side of the road and they constantly park cars fully across it which in turn causes people who are walking or pushing prams to walk in to the road. Recently, which is the reason I am now contacting you, a young boy on his bike cane round the corner had to drive out in to the road as a car was coming towards him. I saw this from my living room window. Luckily, the car stopped and the boy swerved round him but this constant parking across the only pavement is getting ridiculous and almost daily!

Car parking on Avondale Street at the Junction of Collingwood Street, 22nd August
Cars parking on either side of the junction with Collingwood Street make it difficult to pull out of Collingwood Street. You have to pull out into the middle of the road. It makes it a blind spot as you can not always see cars/motorcycles coming up the road.
