Taking a break...

FixMyStreet is going offline shortly, probably permanently. The software is old and needs a complete rewrite, the site is being bombarded by spammers, and it is debatable whether councils are receiving and/or acting on FixMyStreet reports.

As of now, it is not possible to post new issues, or updates to published issues.

On Downs Road by the new Stock yard, there is a previous trench that crosses the road, over time this has sunk to create a very nasty 4 wheel judder... the road is subject to 100 kph so impact in small vehicles has to potential to burst tyres or even roll a vehicle. Myself I have three different vehicles that use this road, my daughter has two. This rut effects them all differently, From the small Chevrolet Cruze 1300cc the rut shakes the vehicle with all four wheel impacting it. The bigger vehicle a Dodge Ram with 22 inch wheels Thuds everytime. Estimated width is 20 inches rigth across road.
