On Main Road outside the village hall at some point in the past a small trench has been dug across the road and then recovered. This has now failed and as is unavoidable as it spans the width of the road. What with the ever increasing amount of traffic going through the village, including larger vehicles & tractors plus the number of drivers exceeding the speed limit here the road takes a "hammering" and is the condition is only getting worse.
