  • Potholes (lots of them), 20th May
    The road leading to stoford is littered with potholes, uneven surface ie top surface worn away, humps, dips, you name it. It begins on both sides of the road after the Clifton road bridge, past broadclose farm and beyond the S bend leading to stoford. I have reported this area on numerous occasions, with some works being undertaken however the work is just not standing up to the traffic. Cars are trying to avoid the potholes etc and this is dangerous. It must also put some strain on the cars driving over it time and time again. Please review this WHOLE area and make good the surface

  • Dead pine tree, 12th May
    In Douglas Rd, there are 5 huge very old pine trees, one of which is dead. Our concern is that were it to fall in high winds, depending on the direction of the prevailing wind, it could land over our property (we are at 20 Doncaster Rd.causing damage or worse. Aside from that, were it to fall in any other direction, someone could be killed, property damaged etc. Of the five trees, it is the middle one, although on inspection, you won't need to know where it is, as it is patently obvious.
