Large deep pothole
near junction of Vention Lane with Putsborough Road
Large and deep pothole - if approaching from Putsborough it is on the nearside just before the junction of Putsborough Road with Stentaway Lane. On 29 October 2015 it was reported to a man working in Putsborough Road who was rep[airing potholes. It would appear that no action was taken.

Bus stop and verge above Saunton Sands Car park entrance
22nd March
For the past few years the bus stop at Saunton that has very heavy use in the summer has been completely overgrown with NO pavement showing. This makes pedestrians stand in the road, Also the hedge from from the bus stop to St annas church is grown out to over the yellow line in places. This hedge growth is now evident with the present road works as the hedge adjacent to the works is now cut right back giving a full width of road in this very busy area. Can we please have a good cut back before Easter. With thanks Ben Byrom

Fortnightly rubbish collection
31st August
The fortnightly rubbish collection is leading to fly infestations in rubbish that has been left out for too long. While we were staying at our brother-in-law's house on Sandy Way last week we had to keep all the windows closed in order to keep the flies out. The bag that had been left by previous visitors was crawling with maggots and the bins were covered in flies. I am sure our bins were not the only ones with this problem: it's a serious health hazard. Croyde, and the surrounding area, is a holiday destination where the population must quadruple (at least) during the summer--and holiday--periods. At these times it would be sensible to institute a weekly rubbish collection. We have never noticed this sort of problem during previous visits and are wondering how recently the fortnightly rubbish collections were introduced.

Deep flooding
26th December
Long length of road (approximately 50m) is under water approx. 18 inches deep. Not sure if this is a blocked gully or if it just needs a drain/gully?

Surface water disposal
17th May
Sandy Way and Leadengate Close, in Croyde, are private roads. Surface water from parts of these two roads is being piped under the house and garden of No 14 Sandy Way. This water then flows out of holes in the wall at the end of the garden of No 14 into Sandy lane, also a private road. That the water takes this route has been shown by putting water, with a dye, into drains in Sandy Way and Leadengate Close, and showing that it flows onto Sandy Lane. There are copious amounts of water which floods Sandy Lane from side to side and then flows into the car parks of Nos 1 - 5 Sandy Lane. There is no doubt that the surface water should never have been directed onto Sandy Lane. But what can we do about it? Who can be held responsible? Could the surface water be directed into a main sewer? I would be extremely grateful for any advice on how to solve this problem.

Beach near Baggy Cottage (Now named Out of the Blue Holiday Letting)
8th September
This beach is very unsatisfactory. It is covered in litter, mainly plastic bottles and other containers. Much of it is washed up but the majority is left by tourists. Rubbish includes discarded food cartons and containers made of various materials including paper, polycarbonate and metal. This is a poor image for Devon, as is so much of the EX33 AND EX34 areas these days. I do not want to report every single incident of rubbish and graffiti, but North Devon is becoming very unattractive and it will not be the holiday destination of choice if it is allowed to become as unkempt as it will become if these litter problems are not addressed. We do not wish to be known as 'Dirty Devon'. The streets of London are far cleaner than those of Ilfracombe, but I have identified the Baggy Point beach area because it is so awful.
