Unauthorised Road Obstruction and Safety Violations on YO8 9NN, 7th August
I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a serious situation that occurred on 07/08/23 at 11:30 at YO8 9NN. Vehicles involved in civil works have obstructed the road without apparent proper closure, traffic management, or diversion signs. Even more concerning, drivers were instructed to drive on footpaths, which is a clear violation of the law.
The location in question is a well-known spot frequently used by older pensioners, some of whom now find themselves unable to access the area due to the obstruction. This adds an additional layer of concern and urgency to the situation.
As you may be aware, under the Highway Code, driving a vehicle on the footpath is strictly prohibited. This act not only endangers pedestrians, particularly the older residents who frequent this area but also reflects a blatant disregard for traffic regulations. The obstruction of the road without evident traffic management or proper road closure or diversion signs further raises questions about whether these actions were conducted with the necessary permits and in compliance with the appropriate laws and guidelines.
1. I kindly request that you investigate this matter urgently to ascertain the following:
2. Were the necessary permits obtained for the obstruction of the road?
3. Were proper traffic management, road closure, or diversion signs implemented as required by law? What immediate actions will be taken to rectify this situation and ensure the safety of all road users, including the older pensioners who rely on access to this area?
4. I have photographic evidence to support my complaint and am willing to provide further information if required.
This matter raises serious safety concerns, and I trust that you will address it with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. I look forward to hearing from you promptly regarding the actions taken to resolve this issue.
Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.
Yours sincerely,

Conifers fly tipped, 28th March
This area is continuously being used to fly tip anything & everything. In my opinion, the council needs to be more proactive in catching & deterring fly tippers by naming & shaming, plus increasing sentences / fines.
