  • Dreadful state of the road. This continuous spray of water from splash from the pothole is damaging my car, as is the small stones being kicked up. This is deteriorating as time goes by

  • The potholes fill up with water even during the lightest rain events causing significant damage when the water is sprayed onto the historic properties along this road. The water penetration is damaging the stone and lime walls, as well as the front door, ultimately letting water into the house and causing damp.
