FIXMYSTREET IN YO61 1DJ
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of YO61 1DJ:
Potholes due to flooding/Hydraulic action of continually flooded road, 11th April
Potholes at the side of the road and now appearing in the road as the road has been flooded for several months as the drainage ditches both sides are full/blocked. This flooded water is been driven through all the time and leading to potholes at the side of the road by Hydraulic action.
This bit of road is busy with cars, tractors/trailers & a bus every hour in each direction. The large vehicles over this flooded section of road and the resulting hydraulic action do not help the general situation.
A simple bit of maintenance on the drainage in this area will stop the accelerated damage to the road surface by the flooded road section hydraulic action.
Treat the root cause please not the symptoms.

Obstruction of public footpath, 16th January
Obstruction of public footpath.
Public footpath details: Route Code: 10.141/2/3 Parish: Ham - Sutton on the Forest. Stile at OS Grid Ref: SE590629. Goose Farm to Hinterlands Common, off Goose Lane, Sutton on the Forest. Map extracts attached with annotated photos to explain the issue fully.
The Stile over the fence is blocked for practical pedestrian use by an electric animal fence (not known if the electric wire is 'live'). The fence has a standard practice insulated piece of tube fitted to the horizontal spar at the location of the stile to enable the electric wire to go through and hence allow people to use the stile but it is not used. In this instance the insulated tube is being bypassed by the electric wire, which stands proud of the fence by approx 12 inches thereby in effect stopping legitimate use of the stile and therefore the public footpath by use of an 'engineered' obstruction. The electric fence wire is at a height that is higher than the stile step which also further complicates reasonable access. In my opinion this is a discrete and subtle 'deliberate act' to prevent public access. It has to be a 'deliberate act' as the insulated tube is there and not used - why? otherwise it is purely incompetence, I suspect the first! It is a long way around this deliberate obstruction of a public footpath.
Please get this resolved with the land owner as a matter of priority.

'SLOW' painting worn off at 6x locations, only 2x left and they are poor to read!, 16th April
The 'SLOW' painting was painted at either end of the 40 mph section between the 30 mph section of Huby and the 30 mph section of sutton 500 metres to the east of this location. There were originaly 8x locations now only 2x are barely visible.
They were painted at only a couple of years ago along Bell Lane/ Sutton Road/ Skates Lane/ Huby Road from OS Grid Ref: SE56656532 Eastwards to SE57926470
They were there so must be required to keep road to relevant DOT specification, obviously not inspected/maintained in a suitable manner otherwise they would be there!

Pothole, 14th March
Large pothole growing daily. This located in front of the post box. The previous repair patch in which this pothole exists was only laid last year. The whole patch is breaking up, obviously a top quality piece of workmanship undertaken at the time, yet again! Please repair the whole previous repair patch before it is riddled with multi visited and breaking up patches in the near future.

Large pothole, 14th March
This large pothole is getting worse. It is located approx 20 metres east of the monkey puzzle tree on skates lane, Huby. This pothole has been reported and 'repaired' only 2 weeks ago. It must be very hard to undertake a repair to something and make the situation worse! The report I made previously did state that a full and proper repair needs to be made at this location and not just another patch on top of existing breaking up patch. It is possible to see 2x layers of road in this location so the patches in place now will fail very quickly.
This constant patching is a waste of public money, please repair it properly so only one visit is required.
As can be seen in the photos attached this is an accident site waiting to occur for pedal cycles and motorcycles. It should be noted that this is a well used cycling route. In addition the whole road surface for approx 70 metres east at this location is breaking up and requires a propoer repair solution as also previously reported to yourselves!

Invasive species - Himalayan Balsam, 21st June
Invasive species - Himalayan Balsam at various locations on the roadside verge on the western side of the road. The various strands are located going North from the bend for approximately 1 km up the outskirts of Sutton-on-the-Forest village.
It will not be long before this spreads into peoples gardens and the inevitable questions asked of Councillors/MP's and possible legal action.
This location has been reported several years on succession and nothing has undertaken, so this is now quite clearly negligence on the part of the road verge owner.
This early in the growing season there is an opportunity to pull up the plant before it grows its seed ball/flowers and then explodes the seeds, therefore catching the plants from growing their location exponentially every year and making the situation worse.

Potholes and localised flooding, 24th February
After bad weather there appears to be more Potholes and localised flooding in the area which is further degrading the road surface, also 150 metres west at the 90 degree bend. The edge of the road surface is breaking up and is underwater so you cannot see the potholes.

Flytipped rubble and 5x large LPG bottles, 24th November
This location is just off the public road (skates lane) on a farm track/public footpath. Postcode: YO61 1HB OS Grid Reference: SE57406492
Flytipped rubble (I think used to repair farm road).
Additionally there are 5x Large LPG bottles fly tipped.
These LPG bottles are laid on their side which is a non suitable storage position as per HSE guidance. (https://www.hse.gov.uk/comah/sragtech/techmeascylinder.htm#:~:text=Cylinders%20should%20be%20stored%20preferably,stored%20with%20their%20valves%20uppermost.) look under the under LPG cylinders part: 'Cylinders should be stored preferably in the open air on a concrete or load-bearing surface.' 'Containers should be stored with their valves uppermost'
This is also not to British Compressed Gases Association guidance document CP44 (http://www.bcga.co.uk/assets/publications/CP44.pdf).
These LPG cylinders constitute a fire/explosion hazard for the near neighbour being that LPG is heavier than air, the gas within if found to be leaking will eventually find a source of ignition (eg.the near neighbour (fair view) has an outdoor log burner type hot tub).
This is an urgent hazard report for their removal.

Potholes/edge of road breaking up, 26th April
Potholes/edge of road breaking up on southern edge of tarmac, This continues west for around 400 to 500 metres at various points. Various past 'repairs' in the area have not worked as the hydraulic effect of the puddles that gather in these low spots further damage the road surface and the damage cycle gets worse. A full and effective repair of the whole section is required otherwise it will be the same condition next year after winter. Thereby costing the taxpayer more in the long run!
