Road sign dangerous fitting
22nd June
The "dead end" road sign on the corner of Vaughan Road and Bowers Way opposite the Harpenden Academy is in danger of falling down as the bolts holding it in place have broken. Children from the local school pass under this sign many times a day and I fear for their safety.

Road markings not clear at junction

The white road markings need to be redone at this junction. For people that don't know this road it can be confusing who has right of way as no proper road markings. This could cause an accident.

Potholes that you can sink a ship in and litter
14th June
MASSIVE potholes, eating up the road, causing huge problems when vehicles meet and for motorcyclists in particular. Also, warning cones that have been in place for the last 8 months, run over and left to litter the countryside - like a please dump your rubbish here, we do it, so why dont you sign. Also, temporary road repair signs that have been left to litter the hedgerows as further proof that dumping rubbish is authorised by the council.

Nuisance roadworks again - 2nd time since last report
4th June
Dear Cadent/Council
You have BLOCKED my route to work (Welwyn Gdn City), the A5183 is totally congested, as is Hemel Hempstead. Do you think its funny and are you having a laugh at all the people that your holding up - late for work,schools, appointments. You just don't care a damn do you. There is no point trying to access the m1, as the approaches to J9 and J8 are often congested. You had the whole of half term to do this last week, and chose to wait until the schools are back etc. Please don't give the usual lame excuses, and the council are often cowards and don't reply anymore.. This is totally unacceptable.
